MCCams

MCCams is a lightweight Forge mod that lets you stream in-game camera views to a live web dashboard. Instead of complex GUIs, the mod is fully controlled through commands, making it simple, flexible, and server-friendly.

You can register cameras, manage visibility, and stream frames directly to an external website for remote viewing.

Website Dashboard: https://minecraftcameras.onrender.com/

Features:

• Command-based camera system (no GUI required)
• Live camera streaming to a web dashboard
• Multiple camera support per world
• Public and private visibility controls
• Share-code access system for restricted viewing
• Multiplayer-friendly design

Configuration: After the first run, a config file is generated at: config/worldcameras-common.toml

Example settings:

• websiteUrl: Base URL of the web dashboard
• targetFps: Target streaming FPS
• jpegQuality: Frame compression quality
• maxUploadWidth: Maximum frame width
• autoStreamOnClients: Enable automatic streaming

Core Commands:

• /camera weburl <url> — Override the website URL for the session
• /camera worldid — Display the world ID
• /camera list — List all cameras in the world
• /camera name <cameraId> <name> — Rename a camera
• /camera stream start — Enable streaming
• /camera stream stop — Disable streaming
• /camera stream testframe <cameraId> — Send a test image
• /setvisibility public — Make cameras visible on the website
• /setvisibility private — Hide cameras
• /setvisibility allowed — Restrict access via share codes
• /camera allow create — Generate a share code
• /camera allow revoke <codeId> — Revoke a share code

How It Works:

1. Place a camera in your world.
2. Use commands to register and manage it.
3. Start streaming with /camera stream start.
4. View your cameras in a browser using the web dashboard.

Use Cases:
