Better Cameras

Changelog - v1.0.0 (Initial Release)

Welcome to the first official release of Better Cameras! This addon is a powerful new utility designed for content creators, machinima makers, and anyone who wants to break free from Minecraft's default camera perspectives.

Take control of your viewpoint with a simple, intuitive UI and a host of professional-grade camera modes.

✨ Initial Features

• Core Control System: The addon is controlled by a single, easy-to-create item. Simply rename a stick to "Camera Control" in an anvil to get started. Right-click (or tap) with this item to open the main menu.

• 9 Unique Camera Modes: A full suite of camera perspectives is available from day one:

  • Vanilla Views: First Person, Third Person (Back), and Third Person (Front).
  • Top-Down View: A customizable bird's-eye view with a height slider (5-80 blocks).
  • Side-Scroll View: A fixed 2D-style camera with a customizable distance slider (5-40 blocks).
  • Cinematic Orbit: A smooth, automatic camera that circles the player for dramatic shots.
  • Shoulder Cam: A tight, over-the-shoulder perspective perfect for an action-game feel.
  • Freeze Camera: Locks the camera's position in the world, allowing you to walk your character through a static scene.
  • Clear Override: An essential button to instantly return to the default, player-controlled camera.

• Lightweight & Stable: This is a pure script-based Behavior Pack that requires no Resource Pack. It's designed to be highly compatible and performance-friendly.

• Multiplayer Ready: All camera changes are client-side, meaning you can use this tool on servers and realms to record your friends without affecting their gameplay.

Thank you for downloading, and happy filming
