# Camera Command A Fabric mod that recreates Bedrock Edition's `/camera` command as faithfully as possible on Java Edition. Build cutscenes, overview shots, FOV changes, and screen fades with a single command — all without touching the player's actual controls. **The player keeps moving, looking around, and interacting exactly as normal.** The camera is purely a *visual* redirect: it changes what's rendered on screen, not who or what the player is controlling. That means you can drive elaborate camera sequences from command blocks while players keep walking, mining, and fighting like nothing happened. ## Features - `/camera clear` — end any active camera override and return to normal view/FOV - `/camera attach_to_entity ` — visually follow a target entity - `/camera detach_from_entity` / `remove_target` — stop following/looking at a target - `/camera set minecraft:free ...` — place the camera at any position/rotation, with optional look-at targeting and eased transitions - `/camera set minecraft:follow_orbit ...` — an orbiting camera centered on a target entity - `/camera fov_set [ease] [easeType]` / `fov_clear` — smoothly change or restore FOV - `/camera fade time [color r g b]` / `fade color ` — full-screen fade in/out Easing curves use the same names as Bedrock (`linear`, `in_out_cubic`, `spring`, etc.) and show up in tab-completion. ## Requirements - Minecraft: 1.21.11 - Fabric Loader: 0.17.3+ - Fabric API (required) ## Differences from Bedrock (please read before using) Java Edition's engine doesn't have an identical camera system, so there are a few known gaps: - Mouse look always turns the player's own body/view. Moving the mouse while a free camera is active rotates the *player*, not the camera itself — free-look independent of the player isn't reproduced. - `play_spline` isn't implemented; Java Edition has no equivalent spline-playback system. - Fixed presets like `minecraft:first_person` / `third_person` aren't implemented, since they'd overlap with vanilla's own F5 perspective switching. Only `minecraft:free` and `minecraft:follow_orbit` are supported. - `view_offset` is approximated as a world-space offset rather than a true screen-space offset. ## Credits Author: L0TCH4
