ExtralyCinematic Overview

ExtralyCinematic lets operators create, edit, and play cinematic camera paths inside a Paper server. It fits spawn intros, boss reveals, dungeon flyovers, region-triggered scenes, and scripted quest beats.

The plugin stores camera frames with world, coordinates, yaw, pitch, optional commands, and optional title/subtitle text. During playback it temporarily switches the viewer to spectator mode and attaches them to an invisible armor stand camera.

Playback uses Catmull-Rom interpolation and ease-in-out timing. When playback ends, the player returns to the original location and game mode.

Free recording samples the recorder’s location every interpolation-steps ticks:

/cinematic record start <name>
/cinematic record stop

Waypoint authoring stores deliberate camera points:

/cinematic addframe <name>
/cinematic duration <name> <seconds>

ExtralyCinematic supports focus targets, shake, zoom-style potion effects, BGM, MiniMessage titles/subtitles, and frame commands.

  • PlaceholderAPI parses placeholders in titles, subtitles, and commands.
  • MythicMobs adds the playcinematic mechanic.
  • WorldGuard maps region entry to cinematic playback.
