Stageplay
by IMX-MAX
Stageplay lets a player record the movements of actors in the world, then play the scene back as a replay, and this client-side Fabric mod is built around a full UI for managing recordings.
What it does
Recorded actors can be added to a scene, played back, stopped and reset, so a replay can be run again from the start. The actor system is more complete than a simple recorder: a recorded actor that is hit can send knockback, and actors can place boats and interact with water during playback. Actors can be moved around the world, and their skins and usernames can be set.
Stageplay is split into two main components, which keeps the recording tools and the playback tools simple to use together. The mod also covers world undo and a reset of replay blocks, so a scene can be restarted cleanly. Recordings can be stored and recalled through the interface, and smaller quality of life options add more versatility to how recordings are used.
Stageplay is client-side only, so only the player needs it, and it requires Fabric API. It is published for Fabric and covers 1.21.11 only, with the 1.0.0 file released on 2026-08-29. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Recorded actor scenes
Actors are recorded and added to scenes, which can be played back, stopped and reset as often as needed.
Actor interaction
A hit on a recorded actor sends knockback, and actors can place boats and interact with water during replay.
Undo and replay reset
World undo and a reset of replay blocks let a scene be restarted properly without leftover changes.
Skins and usernames
Actors can be given set skins and usernames, so the recorded characters appear as chosen.
