Cinematics Interactions Plus

An unofficial Cinematic Interactions add-on by Marck.

Cinematics Interactions Plus expands the first-person interaction experience in Minecraft with animated container interactions, smooth camera movements, and hands-on arrow crafting.

Open vanilla containers with first-person hands, enjoy smooth approach animations and animated lids, or craft arrows directly on the fletching table with ingredients visibly placed on its surface.

✨ Features

Animated Container Interactions

• First-person interactions for single and double chests.

• Animated Ender Chests, barrels and vanilla shulker boxes.

• First-person hands and smooth camera movements powered by Cinematic Interactions.

• Original container inventories, double-chest connections and shulker colors are preserved.

• Animated barrel caps and synchronized vanilla sounds.

• Grouped item-transfer gestures.

• Smooth exits that wait for ongoing item-transfer animations to finish.

Interactive Fletching Table

• Place sticks, flint and feathers directly onto the fletching table surface.

• Arrange ingredients in any order.

• Assemble arrows directly on the table.

• Leave crafted arrows on the surface and collect them individually.

• Pour effect potions over eight arrows.

• Watch each visible arrow change as the potion reaches it.

• Actual recipe consumption and crafting results are validated by the server.

Spatial GUI Integration

• Optional floating container inventory panel.

• The inventory appears beside the first-person interaction scene.

• Requires Spatial GUI 1.9.1 and its YACL dependency.

🎮 Controls

Containers:

• Right-click a supported container to start the interaction.

🌐 Multiplayer

Matching versions of Cinematics Interactions Plus and Cinematic Interactions must be installed on both the client and server.

The fletching table interaction uses shared gameplay data and server-validated actions.

Spatial GUI is only required on the client when using the floating inventory layout.

Keep client and server versions synchronized.

⚠️ Alpha Disclaimer

This is an early alpha release.

Container and fletching interactions have been tested in an isolated client environment, with automated animation checks and server GameTests.

However, not every shader, alternative model, sorting mod, screen resolution or multiplayer configuration has been tested.

Mods that replace the same renderers, camera systems or inventory menus may cause compatibility issues.

If you encounter a problem, please report it with the exact dependency versions and steps to reproduce it.
