MultiView - Flashback Addon
Merges multiple Flashback replays from the same session into a single unified replay — an “omniscient observer” view combining the union of chunks, players, and events seen from each POV.

MultiView — merge multi-player Flashback replays
MultiView is a Fabric add-on for Flashback. Each player records their own POV with Flashback; MultiView fuses those recordings into one unified replay that behaves as if a single omniscient observer had captured the whole session.
- ✅ Every chunk explored by any POV is included
- ✅ Every recording player is visible at the same time
- ✅ Every entity and event seen by at least one POV is kept
- ✅ Free camera or Spectate Player on the merged replay
- ✅ Tick-perfect time alignment, atomic rollback on failure
Who is this for?
- Content creators — SMP recaps, PvP tournaments, machinima with multi-angle coverage from a single replay file.
- Server staff — multi-angle review of incidents, anti-cheat investigations from every involved player's POV.
- Cinematographers — free camera through a multiplayer scene with no information loss.
How to merge two replays
- Each player records their POV with Flashback during the same session.
- Drop the resulting
.zipfiles into<gameDir>/flashback/replays/. - Launch Minecraft with Flashback + MultiView installed.
- Click the camera icon → Select Replay.
- Tick the checkbox to the right of each replay (minimum two).
- Click Merge N Replays in the top-right corner.
- The merged replay
merged_<timestamp>.zipappears in the list once the progress screen finishes.
Compatibility
| Minecraft | Flashback | MultiView |
|---|---|---|
| 1.21.9 / 1.21.10 | 0.39.x | 0.3.2+mc1.21.9 |
| 1.21.11 | 0.39.4 | 0.3.2+mc1.21.11 |
| 26.1 / 26.1.1 / 26.1.2 | 0.40.0 | 0.3.2+mc26.1 |
Requires Fabric API. Java 21 on 1.21.x, Java 25 on 26.1+.
Features
- N-way merge — works from 2 up to many POVs.
- Tick-perfect alignment via
ClientboundSetTimePacketwith metadata fallback. - Cross-source deduplication — chunks (SHA-256 128-bit content hash), player info, system chat by visible text, entity moves.
- Multi-dimension — secondary POV dimension changes preserved as markers.
- Aggregated markers from every POV on a single timeline.
- Atomic write —
.partfile + atomic rename; a failed merge never destroys an existing replay. - Bounded memory — LRU-capped chat dedup, cryptographic chunk hashing, safe on multi-hour sessions.
- i18n — French and English.
Known limitations
- Secondary POVs appear as regular player entities (Flashback only supports one local player; the camera follows the first POV to start recording).
- 4+ POV merges may produce minor visual artefacts in zones where conflicting chunk versions overlap.
- Full technical limitations and roadmap in
SPEC.md.

0.5.0-beta.1
Added
- Silent background auto-update. MultiView now keeps itself — and other Zeffut Modrinth mods present in your
mods/folder — up to date automatically. On startup it hashes the local jars, asks Modrinth for the latest build matching your Minecraft version and loader, downloads verified updates, and swaps them in at game shutdown (a detached helper finishes the swap if a jar is still locked, e.g. on Windows). It runs entirely in the background. Opt-out withauto_update: falseinconfig/multiview-telemetry.jsonor-Dautoupdate.enabled=false; scope it with theupdate_owner,update_all, andupdate_excludesettings.
Changed
- Multi-row selection replaces the per-replay checkboxes: left-click replay rows to build the merge set (selected rows are highlighted), double-click still opens a replay, and a single selection keeps Flashback's Open/Edit/Delete buttons working.
- Removed the first-run telemetry chat message. Telemetry stays anonymous and opt-out via
/mv telemetry off(and-Dmultiview.telemetry=false).
Fixed
- The Merge button no longer overlaps Flashback's search/sort row and resizes responsively with the window.
- The Merge button is correctly greyed out when the selected replays are not from the same recording moment (derived from the immutable replay file name, not the file last-modified time) and for empty (0-tick) replays.

0.4.1-beta.1 — anonymous telemetry
Adds an anonymous, opt-out telemetry layer (PostHog, EU servers) so the mod can be improved based on real usage: merge metrics (counts, durations, sizes, outcomes, per-phase timings), feature/command/UI usage, runtime versions, and sanitized error reports. No player names/UUIDs, world/server names, file paths, or replay contents are ever sent — an anonymous random ID is used.
Disable any time with /mv telemetry off (or /mv telemetry status), the JVM flag -Dmultiview.telemetry=false, and it is auto-disabled in dev environments. See the README "Telemetry & privacy" section.
Fixed
- Cross-version first-run notice (chat API differs between MC 1.21.x and 26.1). All targets — 1.21.11, 1.21.9/1.21.10, 26.1 — build and pass the merge regression suite.
