Cinematic Interactions 0.18.30 — Fabric 1.20.1 Beta

Cinematic Interactions 0.18.30 Beta — Fabric 1.20.1

This is the first Fabric 1.20.1 port of the current Cinematic Interactions experience. It brings the interactive first-person workstation scenes to this Minecraft version.

What changed

• A new searchable settings screen brings together tabs, camera presets, Reduce Motion, and clear Done/Cancel controls. Cloth Config is no longer required.
• The campfire sitting pose has a bent knee with matching pants and armor and a left hand supporting the player in third person.
• Starting a station interaction during a jump now waits until landing. Opening the inventory during the intro no longer interrupts the scene.
• A full campfire now shows the correct message when all four cooking spots are occupied.
• Spanish translations have been added.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1, Fabric Loader 0.16.14 or newer, Fabric API 0.92.12 or newer, and Java 17 or newer. Sodium and Cloth Config are optional.

Beta status

The Fabric 1.20.1 build compiled successfully. In a local singleplayer test, the crafting table, furnace, and campfire scenes completed 176 scripted checks with no failures. The packaged JAR itself, dedicated servers, shaders, and larger modpacks have not yet been tested. Please report any issues you find.

This release is built from the exact source snapshot in pull request #31 (commit 178103b). The PR is still open; this release does not merge it into main. GitHub's automatic source archive includes the PR's multi-version project, while the attached playable JAR is only for Fabric 1.20.1.

Thanks to chomusuke-png for the port and the improvements in this beta.

Cinematic Interactions 0.18.11 — Forge 1.20.1 Beta

The Forge 1.20.1 version you've been waiting for is here! Cinematic Interactions brings its first-person workstation scenes to one of Minecraft's most popular modding versions.

What's included

• Cinematic interactions for crafting, smelting, enchanting, brewing, reading, and more.
• Smooth camera movement, animated hands, and items placed directly in the world.
• Developer Mode with editable workstation layouts and local profiles.
• A recipe guide with optional JEI support.
• An optional client-only preview for servers without the mod.

This is a beta release. If you find a visual glitch or a mod conflict, please report it on GitHub.

Known issue: reconnecting immediately after restarting a Forge server with the mod may occasionally time out. We are investigating it.

Requires Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.1+, and Java 17. Install the JAR on both client and server for the full shared experience. The Crafter scene is unavailable because Minecraft 1.20.1 does not contain that block.

Cinematic Interactions 0.18.12 — Add-on API Preview (NeoForge 1.21.1)

Cinematic Interactions 0.18.12 — Add-on API Preview

Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge 21.1.255

Mod authors can now create first-person scenes for their own menu-backed workstations. The new API is part of this JAR: register a block and its real menu on both sides, then provide a client scene for its camera, hands and interaction points. The block's menu remains responsible for items, recipes and rewards. See the add-on API guide and source example to get started.

This build also includes the recent NeoForge improvements: drag placement across the crafting grid, Shift-click recipe filling and inventory transfers, clearer JEI search text, pixel-style enchantment circles, and fixes for the furnace glow under shaders and compatibility with Amendments and Penchant Reforged.

Preview scope: the add-on API currently supports custom menu-backed blocks on NeoForge 1.21.1. It has not yet been ported to Fabric or Forge. The sample is a source example, not a ready-to-install add-on. Test new add-ons in singleplayer and on a dedicated server.

Download the JAR attached below. Install it on both client and server for the full shared experience. Previous releases remain available.
