Be camera & actor at the same time - Smooth camera paths
About this Mod
Requires CreativeCore
This mod adds a way to create smooth camera paths, including a zoom, tilt and follow target feature. Just keep in mind that you need an external tool to record it.
Server?
Furthermore it can also be installed on a server, to save paths server wide. Make a player follow a path by using a command. It's even possible to create paths using commands!
Features
- smooth camera paths
- roll rotation
- zooming
- 'outside' mode (be camera & actor at the same time)
- following targets (block or entity)
- different interpolations

/cam start time:ms|s|m|h|d [loops (-1 -> endless)] starts the animation using the given time.
/cam clear delete all registered points.
/cam goto

CMDCam server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is CMDCam compatible with forge and neoforge?
CMDCam officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with CMDCam – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CMDCam consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
