Minecraft Cam is a small vanilla package that makes the usage of custom camera paths much easier in 1.13.
It is as simple as setting your start point, end point and entering the duration and the whole path will be calculated for you. But this tool is not only extremly helpful making videos and cinematics, it has an api for mapmakers and developers who want to intregrate a camera path into their creations.
You are curious? Then read further how to get it working.
Installation is as simple as it sounds. No need for any modloaders or custom installers. The only thing what you need is the recent version of Minecraft 1.13(Snapshots).
Open your world settings and click on “Open World Folder”. Enter your world and copy the downloaded zip-file into the /datapacks folder. Now type “/reload” in the chat and a message apears.
The best way to use the tool for a ordinary user is the custom inventar(GUI). To get it working type:
If you hold it a chest apears. Take items out to interact.
On the left side you can set the positions with the corals.
Set your aimed duration in seconds(hold shift and leftclick to increase/decrease).
With the green glass the path can be started.
And when you are finshed the points can be deleted through the barrier.
The path will be prerendered and is displayed with particles:
To disable them run this command:
The camera is fixed. If you want to move while it is running give yourself this tag:
To disable the calculated rotation and pan your camera freely add this tag:
You are getting small status messages. If they are anoying type :
But the Camera package can be used not only with the GUI, it is also controllable through commands, commandblocks and custom datapacks.
So the whole system and automatic calculation can be used in your gamemap or adventure map to get an exordinay effect.
/function cam:pos1 - sets the first position to the current position
/function cam:pos2 - sets the second position to the current position
/function cam:start - starts the path for the executing entity
/function cam:stop - cancels the path
/function cam:remove - removes the points
/function cam:help - opens a small help menu
When the camera path ends the entity gets the camOnStop tag.
The moment can be catched with ˋexecute as @a[tag=camOnStop] run …ˋ and then further actions or another camera path can be executed.
Example path with multiple points
Full example here: https://github.com/Stevertus/McCam
So have fun and create creative things with this small tool. This package is coded in McScript, my own programming language for minecraft maps and datapacks. If it sounds interesting check it out here.
And listen to the camOnStop tag to add multiple paths:
Thank you for your attentition and I hope this tool helps you to record videos or integrate it into your Minecraft Map.

Maybe you could add a focus point where the camera points to regardless of the path with /tp facing. I know you can tag yourself camNoRot, but most people don't use cinematic camera rotation.
