# AFK Camera<\/p>\n
\n## Overview<\/p>\n
AFK Camera is a Minecraft mod that automatically activates cinematic camera movements when you’re idle. After a configurable period of inactivity (default 30 seconds), the mod seamlessly transitions your camera into a free-cam mode and begins playing smooth, pre-defined camera animations around your world.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– **Automatic AFK Detection**: Monitors player activity including movement, mouse input, key presses, and damage
\n– **Smooth Camera Transitions**: Automatically switches to free camera mode with cinematic animations
\n– **Configurable Timing**: Customizable AFK timeout period
\n– **HUD Management**: Automatically hides the HUD during AFK mode
\n– **Animation System**: Supports custom camera keyframe animations with position and rotation interpolation
\n– **Smart Deactivation**: Instantly returns to normal gameplay when any player activity is detected
\n– **Death Protection**: Optional setting to disable AFK mode when player dies<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
The mod continuously monitors for player activity including:
\n– Movement keys (WASD, jump, sneak, sprint)
\n– Mouse movement
\n– Action keys (attack, use, inventory)
\n– Player taking damage
\n– Menu interactions<\/p>\n
When no activity is detected for the configured time period, AFK Camera:
\n1. Enables free camera mode
\n2. Hides the game HUD
\n3. Loads and plays cinematic camera animations in a random order
\n4. Cycles through available animations continuously<\/p>\n
The moment any player input is detected, the mod immediately:
\n1. Stops the current animation
\n2. Restores the HUD
\n3. Returns camera control to the player
\n4. Disables free camera mode<\/p>\n
## Block Bench Compatibility<\/p>\n
This mod is designed to work seamlessly with **Blockbench** camera animations. You can create custom camera paths and keyframe animations in Blockbench, and the mod will automatically load and play them during AFK periods. The animation system supports:<\/p>\n
– Position keyframes with smooth interpolation
\n– Rotation keyframes (pitch and yaw)
\n– Custom timing and duration
\n– Automatic scaling for Minecraft world coordinates<\/p>\n

## Fabric Only
\nThis mod is developed for the Fabric mod loader. A **Forge** version is **not planned** due to the significant architectural differences between the platforms and the mod’s deep integration with Fabric-specific APIs.<\/p>\n
## Dependencies<\/p>\n
### Required
\n– **Fabric API** – Core Fabric mod loader functionality
\n– **YACL (Yet Another Config Library)** – Configuration management<\/p>\n
### Optional
\n– **Mod Menu** – Provides in-game configuration interface<\/p>\n
