Adding your own cassettes:

to add your own cassette tapes simply add files like these in assets/your pack id/vista/cassette_tape https://github.com/MehVahdJukaar/cameramod/tree/master/common/src/main/resources/data/vista/vista/cassette_tape via a datapack. These can also support sounds via the "sound" and "sound_duration" fields.

Then add similar files in a resource pack (also check out the mod own resource pack. You'll need either a ping or gif with the file name you specified in the previous json
