Camera Command Generator

Control a player camera on Bedrock — cinematic camera moves, screen fades, and resetting back to normal

You can also enter a preset id from a behavior pack.

How to use the Camera command generator

  1. Choose whether to set the camera, fade the screen, or reset the camera.
  2. Use minecraft:free to place the camera at a position and point it somewhere.
  3. Turn on ease for a smooth, cinematic camera move.
  4. Remember to run clear when the scene ends to give the player their camera back.

The Camera command exists only in Bedrock Edition; Java has no equivalent command.

Worked examples

The examples below come out of the same generator as the form above, so the commands and explanations always match what the tool produces. Copy one and adjust it from there

1. Fade to black before a scene change

Fades in for 1s, holds 2s and fades out — handy for teleporting a player while the screen is black

/camera @a fade time 1 2 1 color 0 0 0

What it does Will fade the screen of all players to a solid colour, fading in over 1s, holding 2s and fading out over 1s and in RGB 0 0 0.

2. A camera looking down from above

Places a free camera 10 blocks above the player pointing straight down, easing in over 2 seconds

/camera @p set minecraft:free ease 2 in_out_sine pos ~ ~10 ~ rot 90 0

What it does Will switch the camera of the nearest player to the minecraft:free preset, easing with in_out_sine over 2s, placed at ~ ~10 ~, rotated to 90 0.

3. Force the third-person view

Switches every player to the view from behind their character

/camera @a set minecraft:third_person

What it does Will switch the camera of all players to the minecraft:third_person preset.

4. Give the camera back

Run this at the end of every scene, or the player stays stuck in the scripted view

/camera @a clear

What it does Will return the camera of all players to normal and clear any active fade.

How this command differs by edition and version

This is the first example above, run through every edition and version this tool supports. Versions that produce the same result share a row

Every version this tool supports produces the same result, so a command you copy works without version-specific edits
