# AFK Camera !(https://github.com/playsi/AFK-camera/blob/1.21.5/AFK%20Camera%20preview.gif?raw=true) ## Overview AFK Camera is a Minecraft mod that automatically activates cinematic camera movements when you're idle. After a configurable period of inactivity (default 30 seconds), the mod seamlessly transitions your camera into a free-cam mode and begins playing smooth, pre-defined camera animations around your world. ## Features - **Automatic AFK Detection**: Monitors player activity including movement, mouse input, key presses, and damage - **Smooth Camera Transitions**: Automatically switches to free camera mode with cinematic animations - **Configurable Timing**: Customizable AFK timeout period - **HUD Management**: Automatically hides the HUD during AFK mode - **Animation System**: Supports custom camera keyframe animations with position and rotation interpolation - **Smart Deactivation**: Instantly returns to normal gameplay when any player activity is detected - **Death Protection**: Optional setting to disable AFK mode when player dies ## How It Works The mod continuously monitors for player activity including: - Movement keys (WASD, jump, sneak, sprint) - Mouse movement - Action keys (attack, use, inventory) - Player taking damage - Menu interactions When no activity is detected for the configured time period, AFK Camera: 1. Enables free camera mode 2. Hides the game HUD 3. Loads and plays cinematic camera animations in a random order 4. Cycles through available animations continuously The moment any player input is detected, the mod immediately: 1. Stops the current animation 2. Restores the HUD 3. Returns camera control to the player 4. Disables free camera mode ## Block Bench Compatibility This mod is designed to work seamlessly with **Blockbench** camera animations.

# AFK Camera

!(https://github.com/playsi/AFK-camera/blob/1. 21. 5/AFK%20Camera%20preview.gif?raw=true) ## Overview

AFK Camera is a Minecraft mod that automatically activates cinematic camera movements when you're idle. After a configurable period of inactivity (default 30 seconds), the mod seamlessly transitions your camera into a free-cam mode and begins playing smooth, pre-defined camera animations around your world.

## Features

  • Automatic AFK Detection: Monitors player activity including movement, mouse input, key presses, and damage
  • Smooth Camera Transitions: Automatically switches to free camera mode with cinematic animations
  • Configurable Timing: Customizable AFK timeout period
  • HUD Management: Automatically hides the HUD during AFK mode
  • Animation System: Supports custom camera keyframe animations with position and rotation interpolation
  • Smart Deactivation: Instantly returns to normal gameplay when any player activity is detected
  • Death Protection: Optional setting to disable AFK mode when player dies

## How It Works

The mod continuously monitors for player activity including: - Movement keys (WASD, jump, sneak, sprint) - Mouse movement - Action keys (attack, use, inventory) - Player taking damage - Menu interactions

When no activity is detected for the configured time period, AFK Camera: 1. Enables free camera mode 2. Hides the game HUD 3. Loads and plays cinematic camera animations in a random order 4. Cycles through available animations continuously

The moment any player input is detected, the mod immediately: 1. Stops the current animation 2. Restores the HUD 3. Returns camera control to the player 4. Disables free camera mode

## Block Bench Compatibility

This mod is designed to work seamlessly with Blockbench camera animations. You can create custom camera paths and keyframe animations in Blockbench, and the mod will automatically load and play them during AFK periods. The animation system supports:

  • Position keyframes with smooth interpolation
  • Rotation keyframes (pitch and yaw)
  • Custom timing and duration
  • Automatic scaling for Minecraft world coordinates

## Fabric Only This mod is developed for the Fabric mod loader. A Forge version is not planned due to the significant architectural differences between the platforms and the mod's deep integration with Fabric-specific APIs.

## Dependencies

### Required - (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)** - Core Fabric mod loader functionality - (https://modrinth.com/mod/yacl) (Yet Another Config Library) - Configuration management

### Optional - (https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu)** - Provides in-game configuration interface
