RecPulse
by Frize_TV
RecPulse, a Fabric library by Frize_TV, adds a bodycam-style camera effect, a tactical flashlight and a real-time lidar scanner to the game.
What it does
The mod gives the player view a chest-mounted camera look, with realistic distortion and shake that add weight and tension to each step. Dynamic camera movements follow the player's motion, so the picture reacts to walking, running and turning.
A tactical flashlight casts a beam in one direction, which helps when searching the blackest spaces, and a lidar system scans the surrounding environment in real time. The F key and L key control these tools, and the mod is aimed at horror-style play, although its developer describes it as a work in progress.
RecPulse requires Veil and is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under a custom license and is not open source; redistribution on other platforms without the author's permission is prohibited. The Fabric file 0.9.3 was released on 2026-06-25 on the beta channel.
