🎬 CineCam

CineCam is a minimalistic tool for creating cinematic camera animations in Minecraft.

🎥 Create smooth flythroughs, static shots, cuts, camera paths, and entity-tracking scenes — directly inside the game. The mod adds a comfortable Free Cam, a visual point editor, and a quick preview system, so you can build cinematic shots without unnecessary hassle.

✨ Features

• 🎮 Free Cam for freely moving the camera around the world.
• 📍 Point-based camera system: build paths using flight and static points.
• 🌊 Smooth transitions between camera points.
• ✂️ Instant cuts for sharp cinematic edits.
• 🎯 Entity tracking during camera movement.
• 🔧 FOV, yaw, pitch, hold time, and travel time customization.
• 👀 Preview selected and Preview all for quickly testing your scene.
• 💾 Save and load scenes from cinecam/scenes/default.json.
• 🗺️ In-world point editing with visual markers and camera direction lines.
• ⚙️ Free Cam settings: speed, sprint multiplier, movement smoothing, FOV, and interface language.
• 🏃 Motion Capture: Free camera tracking for creating flythroughs.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Enter a world and run:

/cinecam

1. 🎮 Move the Free Cam using WASD, Space, and Shift. The sprint key increases movement speed.

2. ⌨️ Press G to open the CineCam editor.

3. ➕ Add camera points:

   • ✈️ + Flight — a point for smooth camera movement.
   • 📸 + Static — a point for a static shot.

• 🔧 Adjust the point settings and press Apply.

• ▶️ Start a preview:

  • 👁️ Preview selected — preview from the selected point.
  • 🎬 Preview all — preview the full scene.

💡 The G key can be changed in the standard Minecraft key bindings menu.

📍 Point Settings

Each camera point can be adjusted precisely:

• 📌 X / Y / Z — camera position in the world.
• 🔄 Yaw / Pitch — camera rotation and tilt.
• 🔍 FOV — field of view from 1 to 179 degrees.
• ⏸️ Hold — how long the camera stays on this point, in seconds.
• ✈️ Travel — how long it takes to move from this point to the next one.
• 🔗 Next — the next point number. 0 automatically selects the next point in order.
• 🎯 Track — client-side entity ID for tracking. -1 disables tracking.
• 🌊 Track smoothing — smoothness of camera tracking when following a target.

🎞️ Transitions and Paths

CineCam supports different camera movement styles:

• 🚁 MOVE — smooth movement between points.
• ✂️ CUT — an instant cut after the Hold time.
• 🌊 SMOOTH — soft acceleration and deceleration.
• ➡️ LINEAR — constant movement speed.
• 🌀 SPLINE — smooth Catmull-Rom path through nearby points.

🎯 Pick target uses the entity you were looking at before opening the editor.
