About this Mod
Bring Bedrock Edition's /camera command to Java Edition.
Camera Mod gives server operators full control over the player's camera - move it anywhere in the world, animate it with smooth easing, switch perspectives, and trigger cinematic screen fades. All without touching the player's actual position or sending anything suspicious to anti-cheat systems.

Camera Command server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Camera Command compatible with fabric?
Camera Command officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Camera Command – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Camera Command 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.
