ApoCinematicCore — Changelog v1.0.2-beta

Author: ApoloCR | Status: Hotfix & Stability | Date: April 2026

This update focuses on critical state-cleaning issues and ensuring player physics are fully restored after cinematic sequences.

---

🔧 Bug Fixes & Cleanup

• Potion Effect Persistence Fix — Resolved an issue where the SLOW_FALLING effect (used for movement stabilization) remained on the player after the cinematic ended.
• Redundant Cleanup Logic — The unfreeze method now explicitly strips both NIGHT_VISION and SLOW_FALLING to prevent lingering status effects in survival/creative modes.
• Spectator Target Reset — Fixed a bug where the player's camera could remain locked to a non-existent entity if the cinematic was cancelled abruptly.

✨ Smoothing & Stabilization

• Anti-Bounce Optimization — Refined the gravity-dampening logic. The engine now ensures that vanilla Minecraft physics don't interfere with the smooth sub-tick teleports.
• State Restoration Sequence — Optimized the order in which players are "unfrozen": NPCs are removed first, followed by effect clearing, and finally GameMode restoration to ensure a seamless transition.

⚠️ Version Notes

• Backward Compatibility — Fully compatible with recordings made in v1.0.1. No data migration required.
• Performance — Improved the cleanup task to have zero impact on server main-thread performance during player exit.

✅ Version Status Summary

• Timing: Correct (Recording = Playback) ●
• Cleanup: Fixed (No lingering effects) ●
• Physics: Stabilized (No micro-vibrations) ●

🎥 ApoCinematicCore — Changelog v1.0.1-beta

Author: ApoloCR | Status: Feature Update | Date: April 2026

This update focuses on precision recording tools and sub-tick fluidity optimizations while maintaining the core timing stability.

---

🚀 New Features

• Point-Based Recording System — A new command structure for frame-perfect cinematic sequences.
  • /cinematic rec <name> <point_number> <time> — Record specific coordinates and rotations as keyframes with custom timing.
  • /cinematic rec <name> <time> — Standard continuous recording remains available.

✨ Smoothing & Stabilization

• Linear Frame Interpolation (lerpFrame) — The engine now calculates smooth intermediate positions (X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch) between recorded ticks, providing a high-fidelity visual experience without jitter.
• Smart Angle Wrap-around — Implemented rotation normalization to prevent the camera from spinning 360° when crossing the 350° to 10° threshold.
• Adaptive TPS Scaling — The system monitors server health. If TPS drops below 18.0, sub-tick smoothing automatically scales down to 1 to preserve server resources, restoring full fluidity once stable.
• Anti-Bounce Stabilization — Integrated gravity-dampening logic during playback to eliminate micro-vibrations caused by vanilla Minecraft physics.

---

⚠️ Version Notes

• Timing Integrity — Playback duration remains strictly 1:1 with the original recording, ensuring perfectly timed cinematics for synchronized events.
• Performance — Minimal CPU overhead, designed for high-end networks requiring stable 20.0 TPS.

✅ Version Status Summary

• Timing: Correct (Recording = Playback) 🟢
• Recording: Point-based system fully active 🟢
• Smoothness: Sub-tick linear interpolation enabled 🟢
• Performance: Adaptive scaling & Anti-bounce active 🟢

🎬 ApoCinematicCore 1.0.0-beta

High-Performance Cinematic Engine for Java & Bedrock Edition

ApoCinematicCore is a professional-grade tool designed for server trailers, content creation, and immersive storytelling. Engineered for maximum precision, it provides ultra-smooth camera movements while maintaining zero impact on server performance.

---

🚀 Key Features

• Catmull-Rom Splines: Implementation of centripetal interpolation to eliminate camera "overshoot" and "snap-back," ensuring buttery-smooth transitions.
• Bedrock Optimized: Built-in frame optimization specifically for Bedrock Edition (Geyser/Floodgate). Smaller positional deltas mean a smoother experience for mobile and console players.
• Multi-Viewer Support: Broadcast cinematics to specific players or the entire server simultaneously (up to 50+ parallel viewers).
• Immersive Mode: Automatic "F1" style mode that hides the HUD (Java) and applies effects like Blindness fades and Night Vision for a true movie feel.
• Smart Recording: Record at a steady 20 FPS with a real-time action bar countdown and automatic .yml disk storage.

---

📑 Changelog | v1.0.0-beta

• [Added] SmoothPath Engine: New centripetal Catmull-Rom interpolation for professional motion.
• [Added] Bedrock Extra-Interpolation: Dedicated logic to stabilize camera jitter on Bedrock clients.
• [Added] Automatic Persistence: Full auto-save and auto-load system for all your cinematics.
• [Fixed] Command and chat blocking during playback to prevent immersion breaks.
• [Improved] Performance overhead reduced to nearly 0% when idle.
