Cinematic Camera (Smooth Camera) Toggle doesn't seem to work on my own server where I have Admin rights, only when I'm in Spectator mode, but not survival.

Eluce Unfortunately this is a limitation due to how the game treats keybinds.

You'll have to temporarily bind your hotbar slot hotkeys ( 0 - 9 ) to a key you don't use ( my favorite is \ ) as those take priority over the mod's bindings of 0 - 9.

The alternative is to bind the mod's hotkeys to something else (numpad maybe?) but 0 - 9 are just convenient.

Apologies for the really late response, since this mod was uploaded by Salty I don't get notifications for comments or I woulda responded right away!

Edit: Added a clarification to the mod page regarding this too. It's a little quirk I've worked around for ages but totally forgot it also affects others!

It seems having this mod installed makes the player unable to change movement speed. Is this only me?
Latest stable version of VS and latest version of this mod. No other mods installed.

@Daniyo12 This video by Solstin may be of interest to you, he shows how to create timelapses using the vanilla Cinematic Camera commands

Daniyo12

I'd say yes, but I have no idea how to! 😂

Daniyo12, Jul 6th 2025 at 7:21 PM

is it possible to make a “replay mod” to make timelapses in vintage?

Thank you! I'll try to keep it up! <3
