Webcam

by DimasKama

Webcam lets players broadcast a webcam feed into a Minecraft world over a UDP connection, with video compressed by H.264 and the link protected by AES encryption.

What it does

The mod streams live video from a player's webcam into the game. Video packets travel over a UDP socket, so a server needs an open UDP port, 25454 by default, and the port can be changed in the server configuration. Webcam connections are encrypted with AES, but the author states that the encryption does not ensure security, and the mod is used at the user's own risk. The settings menu opens with the C hotkey by default, and its options come with descriptions.

The mod runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also available for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia and Velocity. Fabric API is required on Fabric and Quilt installs. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional dependencies. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Files cover 15 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, and the code is under a custom license that does not count as open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.

A separate Webcam Velocity plugin acts as a UDP proxy. It forwards Webcam traffic from several backend Minecraft servers to one port, so players can connect to different servers through a single address. Running the proxy and the backend servers on the same machine requires giving each of them its own port, and the proxy setup is described in the author's documentation.

Key features

  1. Webcam broadcasting

    Players send a live webcam feed into the world, with the video encoded in H.264 for high-quality output.

  2. Encrypted connections

    Each webcam connection is protected with AES encryption before video packets are sent over UDP.

  3. Adjustable settings menu

    A settings screen opened with the C hotkey lists options, and each default value comes with a short description.

  4. Velocity proxy support

    The optional Velocity plugin routes several Webcam servers behind one proxy through a single UDP port.
