A Minecraft mod that captures sections of your world and renders them as smooth isometric animations.

Example Render

Features

• Preview and adjust your camera angle before rendering
• Generate high-quality isometric animations with customizable settings
• Export animations as MP4 videos or a series of TGA images

Dependencies

Dependency	Notes
Fabric API	Required

🚨 NOTICE 🚨

This mod is extremely file I/O intensive! Every frame of the animation is tobe saved to disk during rendering, so the speed of your storage device has a significant impact on performance. For the best experience, run Minecraft from an NVMe SSD. Rendering on a mechanical drive may result in longer render times, stuttering, or incomplete animations.

Installation``

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API
2. Download the latest release of this mod from the Releases page
3. Place the downloaded JAR file in your Minecraft mods folder
4. Launch Minecraft and verify that the mod is loaded correctly

---

create

Captures the selected region and generates an animation.

/isoanimations create <pos1> <pos2> <scale> <pitch> <yaw> <duration>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Range	Description
pos1	Block Position	-	First corner of the capture region
pos2	Block Position	-	Opposite corner of the capture region
scale	Integer	100 - 500	Zoom/scale factor of the render (bigger = farther out)
pitch	Integer	0 - 360	Horizontal rotation angle around capture region
yaw	Integer	-90 - 90	Vertical tilt angle around capture region
