MCCams is a lightweight Forge mod that lets you stream in-game camera views to a live web dashboard. Instead of complex GUIs, the mod is fully controlled through commands, making it simple, flexible, and server-friendly.
You can register cameras, manage visibility, and stream frames directly to an external website for remote viewing.
Website Dashboard:
https://minecraftcameras.onrender.com/
Features:
- Command-based camera system (no GUI required)
- Live camera streaming to a web dashboard
- Multiple camera support per world
- Public and private visibility controls
- Share-code access system for restricted viewing
- Multiplayer-friendly design
Configuration:
After the first run, a config file is generated at:
config/worldcameras-common.toml
Example settings:
- websiteUrl: Base URL of the web dashboard
- targetFps: Target streaming FPS
- jpegQuality: Frame compression quality
- maxUploadWidth: Maximum frame width
- autoStreamOnClients: Enable automatic streaming
Core Commands:
- /camera weburl <url> — Override the website URL for the session
- /camera worldid — Display the world ID
- /camera list — List all cameras in the world
- /camera name <cameraId> <name> — Rename a camera
- /camera stream start — Enable streaming
- /camera stream stop — Disable streaming

3. Start streaming with /camera stream start.
4. View your cameras in a browser using the web dashboard.
