Mod Replay Mod (Fabric) by luks_gamer99

Using the X key, you can open the Keyframe Repository. Every Replay File has a separate Keyframe Repository which can contain several Keyframe Presets.

To save the Keyframes currently on your Timeline, click the "Save as..." button. You can change a Preset's name, select it from the list and click the "Rename" button. To load a Keyframe Preset, select a Preset from the list and click the "Load" button. Using the "Remove" button, you can permanently delete a Keyframe Preset from the Keyframe Repository.

With the Replay Mod, you can render Camera Paths to videos without using a screen recording tool like Fraps.
To get started, first set up your Camera Path as described in the previous chapters. Then, press the "Render Camera Path" button in the upper left corner.

The Replay Mod does not only allow you to render "normal" vidoes as you see them on YouTube everyday, you can also render 360 degree videos, 3D videos and more.
To change the rendering method, use the dropdown on the upper half of the Render Settings Screen.

Renders the video in the specified resolution. Fastest Rendering Option.

Renders the video as a stereoscopic (side-by-side) 3D move, usable by different 3D technologies. The image for one eye is half the width of the video.

Renders the video with a 360 degree panoramic view, using Cubic Projection. This is usable by several 360 degree video players (and the Oculus Rift), for example VR Player.
While Cubic Videos can't be used for YouTube 360° Videos, it takes less time to render them, so if your player is compatible with Cubic Projection anyway, you can use this setting.

Renders the video with a 360 degree panoramic view, using Equirectangular Projection. This is usable by YouTube's new 360 degree video function, and several video players (and the Oculus Rift), for example VR Player.

<mark>Note: In order for YouTube to recognize 360 Degree Videos, you have to inject some Metadata. Follow this guide for a tutorial.</mark>

After you chose the Rendering Mode you want to use, you can further customize the rendered video.

Below the Render Method Dropdown, you can enter the desired Video Resolution (Width * Height). You can enter any resolution there, but make sure to use reasonable values.

Common Video Resolutions for Default Rendering are:

• 720p - 1280 * 720
• 1080p - 1920 * 1080
• 4k - 3840 * 2160

When using Stereoscopic Rendering, please note that the entered Width value is the final video's width. Because Stereoscopic Videos have two frames next to each other, you therefore need to double the video width, so if you want a Full HD Stereoscopic Video, you have to enter 3840 * 1080.

Videos in Equirectangular Projection always need to have an Aspect Ratio of 2:1.

Please note that you should generally use a high resolution when exporting Equirectangular Videos, as the Video will be mapped onto a spherical surface in the Viewer you're using. To get a decent looking video, we recommend a resolution of 4320 * 2160.

<mark>Note: If you're re-rendering Equirectangular footage (e.g. using a video editing software like Premiere), make sure to export it at a 2:1 aspect ratio - otherwise it will look strange in 360 degrees.</mark>

Below the Render Method Dropdown, there is another Dropdown Menu for Encoding Presets.

<mark>Note: If you simply want to render an MP4 video in good quality, don't change these settings.</mark>

There are 7 Encoding Presets you can choose from:

• MP4 - Default Quality
  Renders an MP4 video encoded with the x264 codec in Default Quality. This is default Encoding Preset, as it exports a video with good quality and a relativly low file size.
• MP4 - High Quality
  Renders an MP4 video encoded with the x264 codec in High Quality. Rendered videos have a relatively high file size, but their quality is almost lossless. This is useful for video producers who have to encode (render) their footage several times.
• MP4 - Potato Quality
  Renders an MP4 video encoded with the x264 codec in Very Low Quality. While the video itself looks really bad, the file size is tiny and therefore this preset can be used for test renders.
• MP4 - Custom Bitrate
  If this Preset is chosen, the Bitrate Input Field gets enabled and you can define the video's bitrate yourself. The rendered video is an MP4 video encoded with the x264 codec.
• WEBM - Custom Bitrate
  If this Preset is chosen, the Bitrate Input Field gets enabled and you can define the video's bitrate yourself. The rendered video is a webm video encoded with the vp8 codec.
  webm video files are useful if you want to upload footage directly to streaming services like YouTube, as they usually don't have to convert vp8-encoded videos when processing them.
• MKV - Lossless
  Renders an MKV video encoded with the x264 codec in Lossless Quality. While these video files are of perfect quality, most non-FFmpeg-based video players and video editing software (e.g. QuickTime Player, Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere) can't play these videos. Therefore, you should instead use the MP4 - High Quality preset in most cases.
• PNG Sequence
  Exports the sequence as individual frames in the PNG Format.
  The images are of perfect quality. Depth map images are 32-bit float encoded in the 8-bit components in BGRA order and will need some kind of post-processing to be useful in most editors.
• OpenEXR Sequence (Minecraft 1.14 and above)
  Exports the sequence as individual frames in the OpenEXR Format. The images are of perfect quality and may contain additional image layers beyond the visible one (e.g. depth). As such, this format is a good choice if you have plenty of disk space to spare and want to perform additional editing on the video in a third-party video editor.

If you don't want to see Entity's Nametags in the rendered video, simply un-tick the checkbox. Hidden Nametags also include Nametags of Armor Stands and Mobs, not only Players!

This setting is only applicable for Cubic Rendering and Equirectangular Rendering.
Because you can rotate the camera in 360 degree viewers, a tilted camera persepctive leads to a strange user experience: If the user looks around, his view might appear to be tilted because the camera looked up or down. Therefore, it is recommended to always stabilize the camera's Pitch and Roll using the repsective checkboxes.

Example 360° video without stabilized Camera Pitch
Example 360° video with stabilized Camera Pitch and Roll

This is an experimental setting for video producers which allows you to change the sky color to a fixed color. Using a Video Editing Software like Adobe After Effects or Sony Vegas, you can change the sky color to transparency and add your own footage as sky. Read more about Chroma Keyinghere.

<mark>Note: For best results, you should disable clouds before rendering, as they are transparent.</mark>

This setting causes depth information to be recorded and included in video formats which support it (currently only OpenEXR).

Using a video editor which supports it (e.g. Blender), you can then for example (among many other effects) add arbitrary geometry onto your rendered video in such a way that foreground objects in the video will still occlude background geometry as if it actually was part of the world.

<mark>Note: For best results, avoid semi-transparent blocks in front of your geometry, as they cannot be accurately represented in the depth map.</mark>

<mark>Note: Anti-aliasing is not supported when exporting depth. Instead simply render and edit your video at a higher resolution and scale it down at the very end.</mark>

<mark>Note: This is for advanced users only. If you do not know what your're doing, leave these settings as they are.</mark>

The Replay Mod runs FFmpeg via the Command Line to encode videos.

You can customize both the executed Command and the Command Line Arguments in the Command Line Settings part of the Render Settings Screen.

If you leave the left input field blank, ffmpeg will be used as command. If you haven't set your PATH variable to link to your FFmpeg distribution, simply enter the full path to your FFmpeg executable (e.g. C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe or /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg).

In the right input field, you can input custom Command Line Arguments to be used in the console.

Each of the Encoding Presets basically represents a set of Command Line Arugments which are used with the ffmpeg Command. Customizing these Command Line Arguments allows you to use a specific codec or quality setting and much more.
If you need an introduction to ffmpeg Command Line Arguments, read the FFmpeg documentation.

Before passing the given Command Line Arguments to the ffmpeg Command, the Replay Mod replaces the following placeholders with your inputs in the Render Settings Screen:

• %WIDTH%
  The video's width
• %HEIGHT%
  The video's height
• %FPS%
  The video's framerate
• %FILENAME%
  The video's filename without the extension. This should be surrounded with quotation marks ", as the filename might contain spaces.
  As the ffmpeg Command is always executed from the target file's parent directory, %FILENAME% does not contain the file's full path.
• %BITRATE%
  The video's bitrate in kilobytes per second. As the %BITRATE% placeholder already contains the value identifier "K", you don't have to take care of the bitrate value's format.

By clicking the Render Button in the lower right corner, you start Default Performance Rendering. Usually, this is perfectly satisfying regarding rendering speed, but you can increase it slightly using High Performance Rendering.

To use High Performance Rendering, hold down the Ctrl key (Cmd key on Mac) while clicking the Render Button.
High Performance Rendering has the following changes to improve rendering speed:

• Rendering Process, Estimated Time Left and Button Clicks are not recalculated after every rendered frame, but only after one rendered seconds (e.g. every 60 frames when rendering with 60fps)
• Resizing the Minecraft Window does not update the Rendering Gui

If you have a Replay in a dark setting (for example at nighttime, or in a cave) and Brightness: Bright just isn't bright enough for you, you can toogle Ambient Lighting using the Z key (Y on some keyboards).

This works as a replacement for the Night Vision Potion Effect, without the side effect of a weird sky color.

When you first enable Quick Mode in a replay, an internal reference of certain entity and block properties is stored for quick access, allowing for faster navigation in the Replay Timeline. As a side effect, certain features like particles and second skin layers will not be rendered in the preview. By default, Quick Mode is toggled with Q.

Using the B key, you can open the Player Overview. In the Player Overview, you see a list of all currently loaded Players in the Replay.

By clicking on a player's Name or Head, you can spectate this player.

Next to each player, there's a checkbox using which you can toggle the player's visibility. This way, you can hide certain players from the Replay.
Below the individual checkboxes, there are two checkbox buttons - one to hide all players and one to show all players.

If you want to save the player visibility settings, check "Remember Hidden Players" checkbox. If checked, invisible players will stay invisible after closing the Replay (this can of course be reverted), otherwise all of the players are visible again after reloading the Replay.

While in a Replay, you can use the N key to create a Thumbnail of the current Replay.
A Thumbnail is a Screenshot which should give the viewer a good impression of your Replay's content.

Thumbnails help keeping your Replay Viewer clear and structured.

If no Thumbnail is set for a Replay, the Default Thumbnail will be displayed in the Replay Viewer.

Long Replays easily get really clunky and difficult to handle. Therefore, Event Markers are a simple way to mark important events in your Replay.

While recording a Replay, you can press the M key anytime to set an Event Marker. This Event Marker remembers the Position where you've added it and will later, while watching a Replay, be displayed on the Replay Timeline.

While viewing a Replay, you can jump to an Event Marker's Position and Timestamp by right-clicking it on the Replay Timeline.

You can also add new Event Markers while viewing a Replay using the M key as well.

You can name Event Markers by double-clicking them. When hovering over the Event Marker, its name is displayed. This way, it's even simpler to add structure to your Replays.

You can delete an Event Marker by clicking it once to select it and then pressing the DELETE key.

Theoretically, a Replay File can be up to 24 days, 20 hours, 30 minutes and 23 seconds long - which is a timespan you'll probably never reach.

If you're playing in Singleplayer, all of the loaded chunks within your Render Distance are recorded.
If you're on a server, this depends on the view-distance setting in the server.properties file, which is set to 11 Chunks by default.

The Replay Mod of course records every loaded, not only the rendered chunks. Therefore, chunks behind your back are recorded as well.

Due to the way the Replay Mod works, you need to start recording when joining a Server or World - otherwise some data which the Replay Files need is missing.

Usually, recording a Replay does not affect your framerate, and it also doesn't lead to lag on servers.
We've tested the Mod on a low-end notebook with only 3GB of ram, and everything worked fine.

The file size of the recorded .mcpr files greatly depends on the amount of world data the replay contains.
A Replay in which you travelled around and discovered a lot of terrain is significantly larger than a Replay which was recorded in a void world.

An average Replay File of 10 Minutes duration usually is between 2MB and 10MB large. Replays recorded on Minigame Servers with lots of particle effects and world changes might be larger.

<mark>If you have trouble with rendering, please first consult the Documentation before asking for help in the Discord.</mark>

If you have not installed FFmpeg, please follow the steps provided here

If already have installed FFmpeg, you have to manually tell the Replay Mod where your FFmpeg executable is located.

First, get the full path to your ffmpeg.exe (on Windows) or ffmpeg executable (on Mac/Linux).
On Windows, this path might look like C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe.

Then, open the "Command Line Settings" Section in the Render Settings and paste this path into the left input field and retry rendering.

If Minecraft crashes after a few frames of rendering, it most likely means the FFmpeg didn't like the Command Line Arguments you passed. If you customized the Command Line Arguments manually, re-check them - it's probably your own fault.

<mark>Hint: In your .minecraft folder, you'll find a file called export.log which contains information about FFmpeg's rendering process.</mark>

• If you did not customize the Command Line Arguments, you might have entered some insanely high (or low) values e.g. for Bitrate or Video Resolution. Try again with other, more reasonable values.
• Make sure the camera doesn't move below Y=0 or above Y=255

Future Client is not compatible with the Mixin required by ReplayMod.
Lunar Client does not support ReplayMod.
Badlion Client offers a different ReplayMod that is not the same as this one.

In General, the Replay Mod should be compatible with most Forge and Fabric Mods.

Karyonix' Shaders Mod is no longer compatible with Minecraft Forge starting with 1.9.4. As such it is not compatible with the Replay Mod either.

Below Minecraft 1.16 you can try Optifine instead. Note however, that official support has ended and many versions break ReplayMod.

On Minecraft 1.16.5 and up you can use Iris, which is fully supported. For the time being, you will have to use it with the custom Sodium provided on our download page. The fix it includes is pending for the official version.

The Custom Main Menu mod is often used in mod packs to customize their Main Menu with a button layout fitting the background image, links to their website / bug tracker and similar. If you are familiar with it, the button id for the Replay Mod is: 17890234 (text: replaymod.gui.replayviewer).

Due to the nature of this Custom Main Menu mod, buttons added to the Main Menu by 3rd party mods like the Replay Mod will not show up by default.
Thus, to access the Replay Viewer/Editor/Center, you need to manually configure the position for those buttons.
To do so, you need to modify the Custom Main Menu configuration file. Usually, you can find it at .minecraft/config/CustomMainMenu/mainmenu.json (if you're using a mod pack launcher, it normally has its own .minecraft folder).
For an explanation of this config file, have a look at Custom Main Menu's page.

You can find a list of already modified config files here.

The Tickrate Changer mod may cause minecraft to freeze when you try to use the Replay Viewer UI.

LabyMod v3.7.x has been reported to be compatible with ReplayMod and other Forge mods. Lower versions are not compatible.

In case your Minecraft crashes when you are using both ReplayMod and OldAnimationsMod, try removing OldAnimationsMod.

If you use ReplayMod with shaders and 1.7 Animations you may see floating water and glass. Remove 1.7 Animations to resolve this.

We have seen reports of crashes that were related to Patcher; in case of crashes try removing Patcher.

The Baritone mod can cause a crash when you're trying to load a replay. If you experience such problems, try running without Baritone.

Minecraft may crash if you try to use RandomPatches together with ReplayMod. Try removing RandomPatches if Minecraft crashes on startup.

ReplayMod can record when Sodium is installed, but currently lacks the FREX Flawless Frames API to render. A modified build of Sodium, that supports this API, is available from the ReplayMod downloads, by clicking the Click to show compatible Sodium versions button.

The Resource Loader mod is not compatible with ReplayMod.

LiteLoader is known to cause issues due to the mixin version it contains.

You can use MultiMC to workaround this problem.

<mark>The MultiMC Edit function requires that your computer has a default editor for json files associated.</mark>

1: Create your instance then edit the instance
2: Click Install Forge
3: Click Install LiteLoader
4: Click Add Empty; use ReplayMod as name and com.replaymod as uid
5: Select the new ReplayMod and click Edit
6: Replace the contents with one of the below snippets
7: Save and close the text editor
8: Move ReplayMod up until it is aboveLiteLoader
9: Remove the ReplayMod jar from the mods folder if you installed it previously.
