Camera Traveling

Version Loader Side Status

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

  1. Stand where you want the camera to start, face the right direction, and run /cam add.
  2. Walk or fly to the next angle, run /cam add again. Repeat for each waypoint.
  3. (Optional) Set a custom duration with /cam time 20.
  4. Run /cam start.
  5. 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.
