SnapClip
by Thoria
SnapClip is a client-side Fabric utility for recording, replaying and saving short clips of Minecraft gameplay with replay controls.
What it does
SnapClip records gameplay and replays it with playback controls: pause and resume, seek to an exact second, step one frame forward or back, and change the replay speed. Commands start and stop recording, and a saved clip can be played, listed or deleted. Replay speed is set as a multiplier, and holding Ctrl adds more speed to the free camera.
Replay cameras come in several modes. A detached camera moves freely like a spectator, an orbit mode circles a focused player, and a focus mode forces a first-person view of a player. Playback starts from the point where recording began, and a stop command returns the view to the live game. The mod's settings are opened with a config command, and the config screen is built with YetAnotherConfigLib.
SnapClip is open source under the MIT License. It needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is required as well. The environment is client-side only, so no server-side install is needed, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-08-10.

How it compares
Flashback actor replay is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 with a client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source. Replay To Flashback Converter is client-side only, for 1.21.1, and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it converts recordings rather than providing its own replay controls. Maxima is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and runs on Fabric and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.1. SnapClip, by contrast, targets only 1.21.11.
