Real BodyCam📹
by TeamCatBoyz
Real BodyCam📹 adds a tactical-style camera window that shows the view of another selected player, and lets players stream their own view to one another.
What it does
Once the camera is active, a small window on screen shows the perspective of a chosen player in a separate, customizable frame. Other players can view their perspective in the same way. The stream carries the full Minecraft game frame between players, in a cropped and simplified view, and includes the sender's shaders and resource packs. Players can switch between camera views with the square bracket keys and toggle a fullscreen camera mode.
The mod also offers extra options for frame rate, stream resolution, overlaid text, GIFs and custom images, opened through a built-in settings menu that appears with the O key by default. It is localized into multiple languages and supports custom PNG camera frames. Real BodyCam📹 is published for Forge only, across three game versions: 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.5.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The server and every player need the mod installed. The mod is distributed under the TeamCatBoyz Non-Commercial License, which permits free use and distribution in non-commercial modpacks, and the code is not open source.
Real BodyCam📹 streams only Minecraft in-game footage. Game audio, microphone audio and desktop or other system windows are not part of the stream.
