StageCam Textcraft Logo

StageCam is a client-side Fabric mod that adds a professional live camera system to Minecraft. Perfect for streaming, content creation, or just showing off your builds on platforms like OmeTV, Twitch, or YouTube.

A second window opens automatically when you load a world. Point OBS at it as a Virtual Camera and you're live with no extra software needed.

How it works

Place camera points anywhere in your world, then switch between them instantly using your Numpad. Your main window stays in first-person while the second window shows the camera feed. Clean, no HUD, no inventory, no distractions.

Features

📷 Fixed Cameras

Place up to 9 camera points per set anywhere in the world with /setcam <slot> <set> <name>
Switch instantly with Numpad 1-9
Camera positions save automatically and persist between sessions
Manage cameras with /listcams, /listcams-s <set>, /delcam <1-9> and /renamecam <1-9> <name>

📁 Camera Sets

Organize your cameras into unlimited sets — one set per location, scene or build
Each set has its own 9 slots
Switch between sets with Page Up / Page Down
Active set shown in the HUD indicator

🪟 Live Second Window

A second window opens automatically and shows the camera feed live
Designed to be captured by OBS Virtual Camera
Resizable window with native resolution support
No HUD, hotbar, chat, inventory or block outline visible in the camera feed
No sprint zoom, no view bobbing — clean stable footage
Window title updates automatically to show the active camera e.g. "StageCam — S1 · bedroom"

🎥 Follow Modes

Toggle with Numpad , to cycle through:

Handheld — camera floats 2 blocks in front of you, follows your exact look direction with smooth movement and subtle shake
Ego — mirrors your exact first-person view without any HUD
Press again to turn off

🔄 Follow Mode

Activate with Numpad / while a fixed camera is active
Camera stays in its saved position but smoothly rotates to always look at the player
Smooth lerp rotation — no snapping or sudden jumps
Works great combined with zoom
HUD shows ⟳ symbol when active

🔍 Zoom

Numpad + to zoom in, Numpad - to zoom out
Smooth 2° FOV steps, range 10°–110°
Works in all camera modes including Follow Mode
Current FOV shown in the HUD indicator
Resets when camera is turned off

🔵 Camera Markers

Colored wireframe markers show exactly where your cameras are placed
Visible through walls so you never lose track of them
Only visible in your main window, not in the camera feed

🏷️ Custom Camera Names

Name your cameras: /setcam 1 1 bedroom
Rename anytime: /renamecam 1 living room
Names show in the indicator, /listcams and action bar

📺 Camera Indicator

Small HUD element in the top-right corner of your main window
Shows active set, camera name or mode, follow mode status and current zoom level
Color coded — blue for fixed cameras, green for handheld, red for ego

🔊 Camera Sound

A subtle click sound plays when switching cameras, toggling modes or changing sets

⚠️ Shader Compatibility

StageCam works with shader packs, but some effects may cause visual artifacts in the camera window:

Bloom — may bleed around the player model
TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) — may cause ghosting due to the dual render pass

Fix: Disable Bloom and TAA in your shader settings for the best experience. StageCam will automatically warn you on world join if Iris is detected.

Fabric Loader
Fabric API (required)
