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.
What It Does
Section titled “What It Does”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.
Authoring Modes
Section titled “Authoring Modes”Free recording samples the recorder’s location every interpolation-steps ticks:
/cinematic record start <name>/cinematic record stopWaypoint authoring stores deliberate camera points:
/cinematic addframe <name>/cinematic duration <name> <seconds>Effects
