Could you build this?
Partial A Paper plugin that exposes config and commands is easy to vibe-code, but recording the player packet stream and producing ReplayMod-compatible replay files depends on protocol internals that are hard to get right without expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a Java Paper plugin that intercepts outbound packets through ProtocolLib or a similar library, serializes them with timestamps, and writes files in the ReplayMod format. The hard parts are the exact replay container format, entity and chunk state reconstruction, and keeping up with Minecraft protocol changes between versions. This needs a developer who knows Minecraft networking and the ReplayMod internals.
