has anyone seen a replay mod like Minecraft's replay mod
I wanna know I've been seein' some mods for recording and making videos/Machinima, and it reminded me of this minecraft mod called replay mod(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05rVWHtTevs) and i wanna know if anyone has seen a doom mod that is like it
if nobody has seen a mod like it that's fine.

Sort of. GZDoom supports classic Doom "demo" recording, which saves the player's inputs to a file to be replayed later.
"Demo" at DoomWiki
However this functionality is rather limited and does not support things like rewinding, changing camera angles, etc. It's also sensitive to engine updates and mod changes causing "desync" between a recording and later playback. Most people don't use demos, and instead focus on capturing gameplay clips in real-time using screen recording software like OBS.
You may find it more feasible to learn gameplay scripting and create mods where game objects follow the actions you want to capture. Be aware this takes time and isn't an overnight learning process, but it is very powerful.

Not replay mod but since you're looking for machinima tools there was a Cameraman Mod which should work great together with demo recording feature to achieve your goals.
