Simple Cams

by Anas099

Simple Cams is a datapack that lets players record cinematic shots in vanilla Minecraft by placing and steering cameras with commands.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.19 – 1.19.4

What it does

Installed as a data pack, Simple Cams gives survival players a way to film scenes without extra client tools. Cameras are spawned with the cam.spawn trigger, aimed at a chosen direction, and their speed is set with cam.speed. A timed run is started with cam.time, which holds the view on the camera for a given value. The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, covering 1.19 – 1.19.4 under All rights reserved; it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Camera spawning

    The cam.spawn trigger places a camera at the player's position, facing the direction the player is looking.

  2. Rotator for direction

    A rotator, summoned through rotator.spawn, changes the camera's direction in the same way a camera is aimed.

  3. Timed and paced shots

    cam.time sets how long the view stays on a camera, and cam.speed changes how fast the camera moves.

What the author says

Start looking in direction you want and spawn a camera by using /trigger cam.spawn. The camera will point at the direction you choose.
