Stage Cam
Stage Cam lets a player set up several camera positions in a world and switch between them with the Numpad during a live stream or recording.
What it does
Cameras are placed anywhere in the world, up to 9 points per set, with the setcam command. Each set can hold one location or scene, and an unlimited number of sets can be organized in a world. Switching between sets uses Page Up and Page Down, and a HUD indicator shows which set is active. Camera positions are saved automatically and persist between sessions, and the listcams, delcam and renamecam commands manage them.
When a second window opens, it shows the camera feed while the main window stays in first-person view. That feed can be pointed at OBS Virtual Camera for streaming, though OBS is extra software the player must install separately. The HUD can be cleaned of inventory distractions for a clearer picture.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it, and it is published for Fabric 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4. Stage Cam requires Fabric API, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. A paper build is also available for server platforms.
