Instant Replay Mod FAQ

The mod runs automatically in the background once installed—you don't need to press a record button. It constantly buffers network packets as you play, so you're always recording. When you want to save a moment, use the export hotkey (configurable in settings) to capture the last portion of your gameplay.

Instant Replay Mod keeps a rolling buffer of recent gameplay in memory, letting you export clips instantly without waiting for a full recording session to finish. ReplayMod alone requires you to manually start and stop recordings, which takes more time and storage.

You can customize the clip length in the mod's config settings to match your needs and available storage. Shorter clips use less disk space; longer clips capture more context but require more storage.

The mod is designed to run quietly in the background with minimal performance impact since it only buffers network packets rather than rendering full video. You may see a small impact depending on your system, but it should not cause noticeable lag during normal gameplay.

Yes, Instant Replay Mod works on multiplayer servers and records the network packets you receive, so you can export clips of your server gameplay just like single-player. The mod is client-side only and doesn't require server installation.

Exported clips are saved as video files in your Minecraft directory, typically in a folder managed by ReplayMod (which Instant Replay Mod extends). Check your mod's config or output settings to confirm the exact save location.

No, the buffer has a fixed size and only keeps your most recent gameplay. Once the buffer reaches its limit, older packets are discarded to make room for new ones, so you won't run out of storage from the buffer itself.

Yes, you can reduce the clip length or buffer duration in the mod settings to use less disk space. Shorter buffers mean smaller exports but also less time to capture moments, so balance this based on your storage needs.

Yes, Instant Replay Mod extends ReplayMod, so you need ReplayMod installed first. Make sure both mods are compatible with your Minecraft version and Fabric loader.

Check that ReplayMod is installed and working, that you have enough disk space for the export, and that your hotkey isn't conflicting with another mod. If the buffer hasn't recorded anything yet (you just started the game), wait a moment for it to fill before trying to export.
