Record-able

A lightweight screen recording mod for Fabric that lets you record, clip, edit and share your gameplay without leaving the game. Supports Minecraft 1.20.2 through 26.3 across three build variants, on PC and on Android launchers (Zalith, Pojav, FCL).

What does it do?

Record-able captures video and audio straight from your Minecraft session. No external software needed, no performance tanks. FFmpeg is downloaded on demand instead of being bundled, so the jar stays small.

Key features!

• Hardware encoding (NVIDIA NVENC, AMD AMF, Intel QuickSync, Apple VideoToolbox) picked automatically, with software x264 as the fallback
• A stalled graphics card encoder restarts by itself, and switches to x264 if it stalls again
• Light Recording (NV12): the graphics card converts frames before readback, cutting CPU use roughly in half (1.21.6+ with OpenGL, experimental)
• Performance Preset slider, Record Quality presets and custom bitrate
• MP4, MKV, MOV and WebM output
• Game audio with precise A/V sync, so long recordings never drift into slow motion
• Microphone and Push-to-Talk with a mic indicator, noise suppression, separate game and mic tracks
• Simple Voice Chat integration (optional): proximity chat goes into your recordings
• Pause and resume, bookmarks, max file size with auto-stop
• Record Menus & Inventories: chests, chat and the pause menu show up in your videos
• Crash recovery: unfinished recordings are found on the next launch and repaired
• Deferred Capture: record at a low FPS while playing, render a smooth video afterwards
• Renderer detection for OpenGL, Vulkan (VulkanMod), Zink, MobileGlues, GL4ES and ANGLE, with the right capture route for each
• Optional GStreamer video backend and HandBrake compression after recording

Auto-Clips and Clip Now:

Record-able can save clips by itself when something happens:

• Kills: melee, projectiles, modded weapons, end crystals and bosses (Ender Dragon, Wither), plus a death message fallback for servers that hide health
• Deaths, dimension changes and advancements
• Custom triggers: chat phrases, entering a chosen dimension, low health
• Kill Montages: pre-roll, the kill and post-roll in one clip, up to 120 seconds
• Clip Now (like Medal): one key saves the last 30 seconds whenever you want

Each trigger has its own clip length (5 seconds to 10 minutes) and a cooldown. Clips can use your graphics card's encoder, play a sound when saved, show a thumbnail toast, and go to their own folder.

Replay Buffer:

Save the last 30 to 120 seconds of gameplay at any time. The buffer is disk-backed, so long or high resolution sessions will not eat your memory.

Video Collection and Player:

• Browse every recording and clip with search, sorting, tags (world or server tags are added automatically) and a clip type filter
• Select mode to lock, tag or delete several videos at once
• Built-in player with a waveform seek bar, kill, death and bookmark markers, frame stepping, trim, and it remembers where you left off
• Export presets for Discord, X, YouTube Shorts, WhatsApp or a small file
• Recent Clips popup and a Watch Last Clip key

Video Editor:

A CapCut-style multi-clip timeline editor right in the game (desktop):

• Split, trim, rearrange, duplicate, and add more clips
• Speed (x0.25 to x4), reverse, volume up to 300%, fades
• Effects: Flip, Invert, Black and White, Deep Fry, Shake, Zoom Punch, Pitch Up/Down, Echo
• YouTube Poop tools: Freeze, Stutter, Scratch, Chop, Shuffle and a one-click Remix!
• Captions with your own fonts, outlines, boxes and animations (right-to-left languages supported)
• Images and GIFs with entrance and motion animations
• Export at 1080p, 720p or Vertical 9:16, up to 60 FPS, with GPU encoding; the original is never changed

Camera Overlay and PNGtuber:

• Show your webcam, a VTuber app's virtual camera, an app window, a video file or a network stream in your recordings and clips
• Green or blue background removal, circle or rectangle, drag and stretch it anywhere, Camera Sync to line it up with the game
• Phone cameras on Android
• PNGtuber avatars: talks when you talk, blinks, hops, and goes grey while muted
• Make an avatar from your Minecraft skin (or anyone's), place its eyes and mouth, and add accessories like glasses, headphones, cat ears, a crown or your own PNGs
• Hide In Menus: leaves the camera out of the video while a menu is open

Element Editor, Overlays and Watermarks:

• Drag, resize and align every overlay element with snapping, a grid, undo and redo, and YouTube/TikTok safe area guides
• Live view edits right over the real game
• Customisable recording overlay (it can appear in the video too)
• Watermark editor with images, text and animated previews

Streamer Mode and Censoring:

• Censor bars that follow parts of the screen (chat, F3, scoreboard, hotbar, player list and more) at any GUI scale
• Fill them with a colour or a picture, above or under the HUD
• Hide F3 coordinates, and a chat censor for coordinates, IP addresses and your own words
• Panic key that blanks the whole screen instantly

Plugins:

• Filter Extension Pack: 13 live filters (Pixel Art, ASCII, VHS, CRT, LCD, Noir, Old Film, Night Vision, Thermal, Game Boy and more)
• Share Extras: copy a clip to the clipboard, open YouTube/TikTok/X/Reddit upload pages, or send it to Discord through your webhook
• Your own filter files (.json, no coding) or Java plugins in the plugins folder

Sharing:

Upload straight from the game to re.share-abl.ink (up to 4 GB, 7/30/60 day links, with optional "Wrap it" envelopes) or Litterbox. Uploads go in chunks with retries, so big files survive a shaky connection.

Themes and Accessibility:

• Menu themes, including VHS, Neon, Galaxy, Stained Glass, Cinema and Honey yellow
• Fit Screen GUI mode for any window or phone
• No Theme Animations, Plain Panels and High Contrast options
• A welcome tour that sets everything up on first launch

Help and Diagnostics:

• Capture Diagnostics with a setup advisor, one-click fixes and an encoder benchmark
• Create Bug Report and Upload Log, with private details removed first
• Setting profiles you can save, load, or link to a world or server

How does FFmpeg work?

On first launch, Record-able offers to download FFmpeg for you from trusted sources (gyan.dev, johnvansickle.com, evermeet.cx, and Maven Central for Android) with SHA-256/MD5 checks. Nothing is downloaded until you click. One-time setup, then you're good to go. The Encoders screen keeps FFmpeg, GStreamer and HandBrake up to date.

System requirements (because ofc):

Fabric Loader and Fabric API

Legacy (Minecraft 1.20.2 to 1.20.4): Java 17

Sandwich (Minecraft 1.20.5 to 1.21.11): Java 21

Modern (Minecraft 26.1 to 26.3): Java 25

FFmpeg (downloaded on first use when prompted)

Mod Menu (optional)

Controls

Start/stop recording: minus

Pause/resume: equals

Settings: F9

Video Collection: F12

Clip Now: F8 (switch it on in settings first)

Watch Last Clip: K

Push-to-Talk: V

Pause menu buttons for recording, pausing, auto-recording, auto-clips, the replay buffer and plugins

Bindable extras: save replay buffer, add bookmark, recording settings, pending renders, censor overlay, Recent Clips, panic key, cycle profiles, cancel and rename recording

Phone players can import the included Zalith control layout with Record-able buttons.

Technical details for the power-users!

Uses OpenAL loopback for audio capture with microsecond-precision timestamps to prevent A/V drift. Frames are read back through PBOs and scaled on the graphics card, and encoding runs on a background thread with a bounded queue, so a slow encoder drops frames instead of freezing the game. On Vulkan (1.21.6+), frames come from the renderer itself rather than the desktop. Custom FFmpeg parameters are supported if you want full control, and a performance line in the log every 10 seconds tells you what is slowing a recording down.

Video uploads use SNI pinning and trusted-chain fallback for reliable TLS connections on all platforms, including HTTPS-inspecting proxies and mobile JVMs.

Compatibility:

Replay Mod and Flashback are supported: replay playback can be auto-recorded, Record-able pauses while Replay Mod exports, and steps aside while Flashback exports with sound. ViaFabric, ViaFabricPlus and the other Via mods are supported too.

A built-in compatibility checker warns you at startup if a known conflicting mod is detected, and a Recommended Mods list suggests optional performance mods (Sodium, ImmediatelyFast, FerriteCore and more).

That said, running multiple recording mods side by side can still cause visual or audio quirks, so your mileage may vary. (Shout-out to each respective mod's authors)

Also: high quality, high FPS, high resolution and long recordings eat up a lot of memory, CPU and disk (so better be careful!)

Disclaimer:

We are coming back with human made versions! (Specifically V1-0.12)
