OBS Recording Output

Since version 1.4.0 of the mod you now have the ability to directly output a frame blended game in OBS via a spout sender. This is a good option for people who can't or don't want to record in 240 FPS or more to create smooth gameplay videos. You can now simply use this option and record at a normal FPS rate.

To set this up follow these instructions:

  1. Download the Spout2 Plugin Installer from https://github.com/Off-World-Live/obs-spout2-plugin
  2. Run the installer, then enable the plugin via OBS > Tools > Plugin Manager
  3. In OBS, add a new Source and select "Spout2 Capture"
  4. Enable the in-game option

Instructions can also be viewed in the in-game GUI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Natural Motion Blur need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Natural Motion Blur as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Natural Motion Blur require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Natural Motion Blur is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
