vcam

Control Minecraft using your phone — gyro, touch, and joystick for full camera override, with a live screen stream to your phone.

Turn any modern smartphone into a camera controller for Minecraft. Look around by moving your phone, swipe the screen for quick turns, and use the on-screen joystick to dolly forward/backward.

Features

• Gyroscope control — yaw, pitch, and roll mapped directly to in-game camera movement
• FPS-style touch drag — swipe the right half of the screen for quick 180s and fast turns
• Joystick — on-screen movement controls (forward/backward/strafe)
• Live screen stream — see your Minecraft gameplay on your phone via WebRTC / MSE (powered by go2rtc)
• Zoom — pinch-to-zoom adjusts camera FOV
• Configurable smoothing — adjust rotation and position smoothing to your liking
• Invert pitch toggle — works with any phone orientation convention

How it works

The mod listens on WebSocket port 4322 for sensor data (gyro + touch + joystick). A companion app (vcam.exe) serves the mobile web UI over HTTPS, streams your desktop via go2rtc, and handles TLS certificates automatically.

Quick Start

1. Install the mod (vcam-mod-<version>+mc1.21.1.jar) in your mods/ folder
2. Download vcam.exe from the GitHub releases and run it on your Windows PC
3. Open https://<YOUR_LAN_IP>:4321/ on your phone
4. Press START TRACKING on the phone, then press V in Minecraft to enable camera override

Requirements

• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Windows or Linux Desktop (for the companion bootstrap app)

Notes

• The companion bootstrap app is open source and available on GitHub
