camera

What was built

• Added a Camera Block (creative tab: Functional) that works on both client and server sides.
• When a Camera Block is present and the client world is loaded, the mod captures the current view once each second and stores it as camera-output/camera.png in the game directory.
• A lightweight local HTTP server starts on the client at http://127.0.0.1:8765, exposing the live image at /camera.png and a text status at /status, so other applications can pull the feed.

How to use

• Place a Camera Block in the world; keep the chunk loaded with a running client to keep the feed updating.
• Point external tools (e.g., OBS browser/image source or apps that can read from a local PNG) at http://127.0.0.1:8765/camera.png or directly at the camera-output/camera.png file.
• The camera output follows the player's current view while the block exists in the loaded area.

Notes and limitations

• This is a software feed; it does not install a system-level virtual webcam driver. Use the HTTP endpoint or PNG file in apps that can consume those sources.
• Frames only update while the client is running and the camera block’s area is loaded; if you leave or pause the world, the feed stops refreshing.
• Orientation uses the player’s perspective rather than a fixed block-facing view to avoid camera jumps.

Server Validation

✅ Server validation passed - The mod was tested on a real Minecraft server and loaded successfully.
