FlashbackClipper

# FlashBackClipper **An OBS-style replay buffer for (https://modrinth.com/mod/flashback).** FlashBackClipper keeps a rolling buffer of your recent gameplay in the background - press one button and the last few minutes are saved as a regular Flashback replay, ready to open in the Flashback editor. ## Features - **Replay buffer** — continuously buffers your gameplay, just like the OBS replay buffer - **Save Clip** — one keybind (default `F9`) or pause-menu button saves the last N seconds - **Exact clips** — a clip covers precisely the configured duration, to the tick - **Nothing piles up** — footage older than the buffer window is deleted continuously; disk and memory stay flat no matter how long you play - **Real Flashback replays** — clips land in `flashback/replays/clips/` and open in Flashback's replay browser and editor like any other replay - **Fully independent** — the buffer is invisible to Flashback's own recording; you can run a normal recording at the same time ## How to use 1. Open the pause menu and press the **Start Replay Buffer** button (next to Flashback's recording controls, on the opposite side). 2. Play. 3. Something clip-worthy happens? Press **F9** (or the pause-menu **Save Clip** button). 4. Open the clip through Flashback's replay browser, in the `clips` folder. Stopping the buffer (or leaving the world) discards the buffered footage — it's a buffer, not a recording. For footage you always want to keep, use Flashback's normal recording; both can run side by side. ## Settings All options live in a **FlashBack Clipper** category inside Flashback's config screen (open via ModMenu or `/flashback config`): - **Clip Duration** — how much footage a clip saves (10s – 10m) - **Buffer Chunk Length** — how often the buffer takes a world snapshot (performance / clip file size trade-off) - **Auto-Start Buffer** — start buffering automatically when joining a world - **Buffer Retention** — how much footage the buffer keeps (0 = automatic) - **Show Notifications** — toast notifications for buffer events and saved clips ## Requirements - Minecraft 1.21.11 (Fabric) - (https://modrinth.com/mod/flashback) 0.39.x - (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) - Client-side only — works on servers, in singleplayer, and alongside any server type ## Credits Built on top of (https://modrinth.com/mod/flashback) by Moulberry — all recording and playback heavy lifting is Flashback's; this addon adds the buffer, the clipping, and the controls around it.
