Easy Camera

Easy Camera

See your friends' real faces in Minecraft!

Ever wanted to add a new layer of interaction to your Minecraft server? Easy Camera Mod allows you to see a real-time video stream from your friends' webcams right inside the game! A small, customizable circle appears above each player's head, showing their live reaction and making your adventures even more fun and personal.

This is the perfect mod for streamers, friends playing together, or any server that wants to foster a closer community.

This project was heavily inspired by the unique webcam feature seen on the FreakLand server. Our goal was to recreate and improve upon that amazing idea, making it available for everyone to enjoy on their own Fabric and Spigot servers.
