About CCTVCraft
Whether you want to spy on your friend's house on a server or keep an eye on your village, CCTVCraft will provide you with the tools to watch whatever you want anywhere you want. We have used MCreator to make this complex mod from the ground up. NorthWestTrees Gaming maintains the mod.
Transition To NeoForge
CCTVCraft will be migrating to NeoForge after MCreator switches the generator to that platform.
With this being said CCTVCraft forge version has pretty high TPS which I will be trying to address before I start to work on a new mod for the NeoForge platform.
The general goal looks like the below for me finishing up the forge edition of the mod.
-
Release 4.8.0 and 4.9.0 will focus on adding better mod pack support.
-
Release 4.10.0 and 4.11.0 will hopefully resolve some issues with the high TPS rates with the mod.
-
By then MCreator should have released NeoForge and I will start working on the new mods for that platform.
If you have suggestions for the NeoForge edition I already created the CCTVCraft NeoForge GitHub repository for that version feel free to share your ideas there in the meantime and I will try to add them once I am done with the Forge version.

If you are using the mod for Minecraft 1.14.4 or 1.15.2 you will require MMP UUID API

- If you are using the modification for 1.15.2 you will need to use MMP UUID 1.3.0 for "General Use"
FAQ

Newer versions will be supported for sure, but anything older is not possible with MCreator and only newer versions will get new features.
