Virtual Motion Capture for Minecraft
by Provismet
Virtual Motion Capture for Minecraft sends the player's in-game state to VMC-compatible tracking applications, so a VTuber model can follow the avatar's actions.
What it does
Once the client is connected, the mod streams data in the VMC protocol, which lets external applications drive a VTuber model. Health levels, taking or dealing damage, and other events from the player's game are mapped onto the model's BlendShapes, and a complete list of which in-game actions trigger which BlendShapes is kept on the wiki with gallery examples.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player running the game needs it; a server can run without it. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.11. Its code is open source under the MIT License. UniVRM requires a compatibility mode when the model is imported, as noted by the author.
