Motion Capture

What it does Motion Capture lets you record a player's full movement set and play it back later as a controllable actor. You start a recording with a command, perform whatever actions you want, then stop and save it. The mod captures walking, sprinting, jumping, swimming, sneaking, hand swings, item use, held items, armor, status effects like fire or invisibility, block interactions, and nearby entities including vehicles. Once saved, a recording becomes a building block for scenes. A scene can hold multiple recordings or even other scenes, each with its own player name, position offset, and start delay. This lets you stage complex sequences without needing extra people online. ## Who it suits The mod targets creators who build cinematic scenes, tutorial recordings, or automated demonstrations. Server operators can use it to script events or populate areas with recorded activity. Because the server side is required and the client side is optional, you can run it on a dedicated server and let vanilla clients join without installing anything. ## Commands and workflow The command tree is organized by function. Recording commands handle start, stop, save, and file management. Scene commands let you create scenes, add recordings or nested scenes with offset parameters, and play them back by prefixing the scene name with a dot. Playing commands trigger recordings or scenes. Settings, info, and help round out the set. All arguments in brackets are optional so you can keep calls simple or get precise. ## Compatibility and requirements The mod runs on Fabric and Neoforge. Supported Minecraft versions are 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1, 1.21.5, and 1.21.11. Server installation is mandatory; clients don't need the mod. License is LGPL v3 only. A recent fix addressed player damage playback on 1.21.4 and later and resolved a directory loading issue when used alongside Flashback.
