# Paper Flashback<\/p>\n
Paper Flashback lets a **Paper server generate replay files for the Flashback mod entirely server-side**.<\/p>\n
No client recorder required. Start recordings from the server, play normally, then open the exported replay in **Flashback** for cinematic shots, review, or content creation.<\/p>\n
## What it does<\/p>\n
Paper Flashback can record:<\/p>\n
– **Specific players**
\n– **Chunk areas**
\n– **All online players at once**<\/p>\n
It also supports players who join later while all-player recording is active, so long sessions can keep going without constant babysitting.<\/p>\n
## Why it exists<\/p>\n
Flashback is great for replay editing, but it is normally centered around client-side recording. Meaning if clients do not have it installed you can’t easily get their perspective.
\nPaper Flashback moves that workflow to the server:<\/p>\n
– Record gameplay from the server side
\n– Export Flashback-compatible replay files
\n– Capture events, fights, builds, and movement without relying on every player to record locally<\/p>\n

\n– Record a single player
\n– Record chunk areas
\n– Record all online players
\n– Auto-start recordings for players who join later while all-player mode is armed
\n– Auto-resume new player recording segments when targeted players reconnect
\n– Works across respawns
\n– Captures player equipment, held items, offhand, skin layers, tab visibility, and replay tracking
