NLibCutscene is a professional-grade tool for creating cinematics and machinimas directly inside Minecraft. We ditched complex chat commands for a Modern GUI and a robust Motion Capture system. Just hit record, move around, and the mod transforms your flight into a smooth, professional animation.

Ideal for map makers, server admins, and content creators who demand video-editor quality within the game.

✨ Key Features

🎥 Motion Capture

No need to manually input coordinates. Press "Record", and the mod captures your flight path, head rotation, and camera tilt in real-time.

🖥️ Modern Dark GUI

A completely redesigned interface featuring a "Deep Dark" aesthetic. Translucent panels, minimalist buttons, and an animated starry background make editing cutscenes a visual treat.

You can also start a cutscene using the command:

/startct "cutscene name"

🔄 Advanced Camera Control

• Camera Roll: Full support for Z-axis rotation. Use Z and X keys while recording to add dramatic Dutch angles.

• Camera Shake: Add customizable shake effects to any keyframe (perfect for explosions or heavy impacts).

• Fly-Through Mode: Create complex paths where the camera glides through points using Catmull-Rom splines without stopping.

📈 Interpolation Logic

Choose the math behind the movement for every segment:

• 🌊 Catmull-Rom: Smooth spline interpolation through points (continuous movement).

• 🚀 Ease In/Out: Cinematic acceleration and deceleration.

• 🟦 Linear: Constant speed (robotic movement).

• ⚡ Instant: Hard cut (teleport).

📂 Configuration & Data

All cutscenes are saved in clean, readable JSON files. This makes it easy to share paths, add them to modpacks, or fine-tune values using a text editor.
