Renderra
by CJDev
Renderra lets players play video inside Minecraft by attaching a video player to an Item Display placed in the world, with audio extracted to a separate track.
What it does
A player creates an Item Display, selects it, and switches into a mode that turns displays into video screens. Once a display is selected, a video, image or GIF file from the video player folder of the instance can be chosen, and the screen resolution set. Audio for the selected video is generated and saved into the videoaudio folder, and the editing mode can be turned off afterward to prevent accidental changes.
The mod is aimed at streaming and video-showing setups on Minecraft Java Edition, where a video screen is part of a build or a shared space. Vanilla clients can view the screens without installing the mod, which only needs to be added on the side that creates them. Renderra runs on Fabric for game versions 1.21.5 – 26.2 and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source and its source code is public.

Use cases
Video walls in builds
Creators place several item display screens in a build and assign each one its own video, image or GIF.
Shared viewing spaces
Servers and groups can keep video screens in a common area, since vanilla clients can watch them without the mod.
Who it’s for: Builders and server owners who want video screens in their world, and players who run a streaming or viewing setup in Minecraft.
