I made a Cinematic Camera Datapack for Minecraft!

Hey guys, I created a discord server! We've got a couple dozen members, you should join too!: discord.gg/Bk6uvpQARs - I’ll use it to ask for opinions on new datapack features, video ideas, and to show little sneak peeks. I have no idea how to run a discord server, but just like everything else in this channel, we’ll figure it out as we go. See you there! Now, for the possible future features section that I cut out of the video. Here’s the script: “There are a bunch of tweaks I'd consider making, actually. I could make the curve more precise if I know the bounding box is tiny. I could make it less precise if the bounding box is huge. Nobody would notice if the path wiggled around by a block or two when the total animation is 3000 blocks wide. Another thing I could do is break up the divisions in the bezier math. Instead of dividing by 100 every 4 multiplications, maybe I could divide by 10 every 2. But right now I actually have that 100 value as a variable. I think it's currently set to 200 by default, for reasons I won't explain. That means I'd have to be dividing by a square root, and minecraft scoreboards don't have a square root operation, so I'd have to program that in myself, and that might be slow to execute. “I don't know. Maybe I'll add this other stuff. Most of the things I've talked about already used to be this hypothetical "other stuff." Then I tried making a prototype, found out the prototype was actually viable, then implemented it fully. Actually, that's what this entire datapack has been. I had no idea if it would actually work at all. It almost didn't, several times.”

Decided to watch youtube while nursing a bad headache, but I think the genius math stuff made it worse... in all seriousness tho, you described things really well and I felt like I could understand most of it. I'm excited to see how this can be used...

Never have I seen datapack functions taken to such a high degree and used so well. Awesome work, I can’t imagine how long this took you. ⭐️ ⭐️

I love how no matter how complicated math may get, it can always be broken down into easily digestible parts.

Literally subbed a few hours ago and now there's a new video up

I wheezed out an audible laugh when I saw you using desmos. That thing carried us all throughout high school. Good memories.

awesome! your videos are underrated for the amount of work you put in to them

This was a great vid yet again Can't wait to see next one

man this needs more recognition, its so cool

Wasn't expecting an upload so soon! exited to see how u did this

Bro how do you have only 3k subs, you're an excellent content creator, and your videos are always super high quality! I wish you the best on the rocky road of the internet, I'll be here scratching my head trying to understand what you are saying! KEEP IT UP <3 !

This data pack along with all your other ones are so good and you need to keep going, thank you!

Unrelated to video, but there is a YouTuber named grazzy who is recreating the entire breath of the wild map. My suggestion is that you guys do a collab as you are recreating game mechanics and he is recreating the map. It makes perfect sense.

Sooo interesting, never thought maths this complicated could be done in Minecraft... But at the moment is it possible to change the moving speed of the camera ? Could be great for scenes of giant buildings where you got to move fast / scenes of a small detail, like for example an item-frame containing something you want to showcase...

Dude, you are a legend. Never cared so much about maths but with the practical things that you show everything makes way more sense and I see why it's necessary. Also the way you format your videos is great and entertaining. You are smOrt and cultured.

I just found your channel, Howzieky, and I just wanted to say that I think your informative animations are great. They really make your explanations so easy to follow, and there is obviously a lot of time and care put into making them. Awesome.

YouTube needs to recomend more this videos

Can’t believe YT never showed me this and someone else showed me your channel. Welp, just binged your entire BOTW mods today so amazing job dude!

your animations are amazing, huge fan!

I think this is one of the only channels that makes math fun
