This is the latest video in a series of deep dive looks at some of the mods that I am using in my games.  You may find that these are worth a look for use in your own games.

A deep dive is probably closer to a tutorial video than a showcase video… but it has elements of both while not exactly being either.  These are more like explanations of what is possible with each mod and are really intended to help you figure out what a mod does… or does not do… and whether it would be a good fit for your game.

I also want to point out that these videos will be directed  from the point of view of PC users using a keyboard and mouse and otherwise running with default settings.   If you running on a Mac or console, or use a gamepad on the PC some of the control options and elements will undoubtedly be different, but the functionality demonstrated should still be valid.

Today’s mod is CMDCam. If you are not making your own Minecraft videos, then this mod might not be particularly useful.  However, if you are making Minecraft videos and you work primarily through the Forge launcher, then this is a mod you should seriously look into.  Especially if you are looking for smooth and graceful cinematics.

The mod can be found on CurseForge:

I strongly encourage you to go download the mod and try it for yourself. If you like it, please reach out to the mod owner and let them know. It is always good for mod authors to hear that all their efforts are appreciated and enjoyed and used. It keeps them going and of course, that means more great mods to choose from in the future.

I have also used a number of additional mods in creating this video to improve the appearance or quality of the final result.
