Description
Camera Traveling
Turn your Minecraft world into a movie set. Camera Traveling lets you record waypoints and play them back as a smooth, cinematic flight, perfect for trailers, build showcases, server intros and adventure map cutscenes.
Highlights
- Smooth cinematic motion — your camera glides through your waypoints using a Catmull-Rom spline that respects both position and look angles, so transitions never feel jerky.
- One-command workflow — record, tweak, and play back your shot without ever leaving the game.
- Immersive playback — the HUD hides automatically, flight kicks in, and a 3-second countdown gives you time to get ready.
- Stop on a dime — press Escape at any moment to abort the travel cleanly.
- No server install required — runs entirely on the client. Friends and servers do not need the mod.
Quick Start
All commands require operator (OP level 2) permissions on your current world or server.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/cam add |
Records your current position and look direction. |
/cam remove |
Deletes the last recorded waypoint. |
/cam clear |
Wipes the entire shot. |
/cam time <sec> |
Sets the total travel duration (default: 10s). |
/cam start |
Teleports you to the first point and plays the cinematic. |
Recording your first shot
- Stand where you want the camera to start, face the right direction, and run
/cam add. - Walk or fly to the next angle, run
/cam addagain. Repeat for each waypoint. - (Optional) Set a custom duration with
/cam time 20. - Run
/cam start. - The HUD hides, a 3-second countdown plays, then your camera glides smoothly through every waypoint.
When the travel ends, the HUD comes back automatically and you stay at the final position — ready to hit record again or set up your next shot.
Tips
- Add more waypoints for tighter, more controlled curves. Two points give you a straight line; three or more unlock the full smooth-spline behavior.
- Match your look angles. Since the mod interpolates pitch and yaw, panning is included in the cinematic. Plan your gaze, not just your path.
- Press Escape if you need to bail. Everything resets cleanly.
