Did they overhaul the replay engine packet handling recently? I just recorded a cinematic bed clutch rewatch and there was zero frame stutter or entity desync.

Yeah, the recent replay patch smoothed out tick rate interpolation. Previous versions would sometimes drop player head movements during fast bridging, but now cinematics look completely smooth for montage editing.

That makes recording BedWars clips so much faster. You can capture clean cinematic camera angles without needing third-party recording mods running in real-time.
