About this Mod
About
Motion Capture is a mod that allows you to record and replay player movements. It is created mainly for people who want to create complex scenes in Minecraft without using real players.
It records:
- movements
- sprinting, jumping, swimming, sneaking
- swinging hands
- using items
- items in hands and armor
- states like being on fire, being invisible, or glowing
- placing, breaking and interacting with blocks
- nearby entities and riding them
After you save recording, you can create a scene to which you can add multiple recordings or other scenes with parameters like player name, position offset, or start delay.
How to use
- First, you need to start recording using
/mocap recording start. It will record all your movements or movements of a player given as an argument. - Then, you can stop recording using
/mocap recording stopand save it with/mocap recording save [name]. - Use
/mocap playing start [name] (player_name) (mineskin_url)to play recording. - You can also create scenes to which you can add multiple recordings or other scenes, with parameters like player name, position offset, or start delay.
- To create scene use
/mocap scenes add (scene_name). Then, add your recording using/mocap scenes addTo [scene_name] [recording_name] (delay) (x_offset) (y_offset) (z_offset) (player_name) (skin_source_type) (skin_source)(you can skip arguments in round brackets if you want). - To play scene use
/mocap playing start .[scene_name]- you need to put a dot before the scene name. - By putting a dot before name, when using
/mocap scenes addTo [...], you can also add scenes to other scenes.

Motion Capture server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is Motion Capture compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
Motion Capture officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Motion Capture – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Motion Capture consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
