Bruno the CameraMan
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.

🎥 Bruno Cinematic Camera Manager
Bruno is a cinematic camera manager for Minecraft Forge.
It allows you to create smooth camera transitions for interactions, cutscenes, or cinematic scenes in your mods or modpacks.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This project is still in early access. It is not fully finished and may contain bugs or incomplete features. Use it at your own risk and feel free to contribute or report issues.
🔧 Getting Started
To use Bruno in your mod, you’ll need to register camera points.
A CameraPoint defines where the camera should be and how to transition into it.
📌 Registering a CameraPoint
You can register points during the CameraManagerSetupEvent.
Here’s an example:
// Registration example
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = YourMod.MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.FORGE, value = Dist.CLIENT)
public class Register {
public static CameraPointAccessor POINT;
@SubscribeEvent
public static void onCameraManagerSetup(CameraManagerSetupEvent event) {
POINT = event.manager.registerPoint("point", CameraPoint.of(
new Vec3(
0, // x
100, // y
0 // z
),
0, // yaw
0, // pitch
0.5f, // fov
1000, // duration in ms
Easing::easeInOutQuad, // easing function
false // render player model
));
}
}
🎬 Transitioning to a CameraPoint
Once a point is registered, you can transition to it:
On Client
com.smibii.cameraman.listeners.Camera.manager.transitionToPoint("point");
On Server
com.smibii.cameraman.network.NetworkHandler.sendToClient(
new CameraToPointPacket("point"),
player
);
🔄 Returning to the Player
You can exit the camera and return to the player:
Smooth Transition
// Client
com.smibii.cameraman.listeners.Camera.manager.transitionToPlayer();
// Server
NetworkHandler.sendToClient(
new CameraToPlayerPacket(),
player
);
Immediate Exit
// Client
com.smibii.cameraman.listeners.Camera.manager.setInUse(false);
// Server
NetworkHandler.sendToClient(
new CameraSetInUsePacket(false),
player
);
