Camera For Streaming

SpectatorCamera 1.100.0

Added

- CPU-based Minecraft world renderer - Vanilla block models and textures - Players, mobs, items and particles - Chests, flower pots, decorated pots, beds, banners and shulker boxes - Lighting, transparency, water, plants and biome colors - Automatic camera following - FPS overlay - MJPEG live preview - Twitch streaming with background music - Old-camera VFX effect - Performance optimizations and caching

New configuration options

- streaming.local-preview.fps - streaming.local-preview.internal-scale - streaming.effects.old-camera - streaming.audio.enabled - streaming.audio.file - streaming.audio.volume - streaming.twitch.* - streaming.video.* - streaming.renderer.* - chunk-loading.* - interesting-places.* - move-trigger-distance - player-switch-interval-ms The configuration allows you to customize resolution, FPS, render distance, FOV, Twitch output, audio, VFX, camera movement and performance settings.

Major Performance Improvements

The renderer was heavily optimized for server performance. Previous versions could reduce server performance to around 7 TPS during active rendering. In version 1.100.0, rendering now uses asynchronous CPU processing, caching, region skipping and optimized lighting/model calculations. With the same visual quality and render distance, server performance can now remain close to 20 TPS during normal operation.

micro fix: change structure of config

Fix stream problem, now you can stream on Twitch :)

SpectatorCamera 1.30.3

SpectatorCamera has evolved from a simple spectator-camera plugin into a server-side streaming camera system.

New

- Added a virtual camera bot that does not require a second Minecraft client or account. - Added NoamoriCamera support in the player tab list. - Added server-list ping support: the virtual camera can count as an online player. - Added a built-in browser MJPEG live stream. - Added automatic download and use of the matching official Minecraft client.jar. - Added saved “interesting places”: the camera learns where players spend time and patrols those locations when the server is empty. - Added automatic chunk loading around the camera. - Added manual camera controls and automatic player-following modes.

Server-side renderer

- Uses vanilla client textures, blockstate files and model JSON from client.jar. - Added texture UV mapping, transparency and cutout handling. - Added support for water, fire, foliage alpha, biome tinting and animated textures. - Added day/night lighting, sky light, block light and emissive light sources. - Added sky rendering with clouds, sun and moon. - Added 3D player models with real skins, nametags, head rotation, sneaking, running, held items and damage feedback. - Added rendering support for mobs, paintings, item frames and several block entities.

Performance work

- Added multithreaded rendering. - Added lightmap caching. - Added empty-volume skipping during ray tracing. - Added chunk snapshot based world capture to reduce expensive Bukkit block lookups.

This project is an experimental attempt to render a Minecraft-style live camera directly on the server, without running a normal Minecraft client.

Beta notice

This is a beta release. The server-side renderer is still experimental. Many blocks, complex block entities, mobs, particles, animations and some model variants are not rendered yet or may render incorrectly. Use this version for testing and streaming experiments. Visual compatibility with the official Minecraft client is still under active development.
