Camera Command - Vignette and Opacity

The camera command has received tons of updates over the years, but Vignettes and Opacity configurations are some features I'd like to see.

Vignette

The vignette would be a boolean added at the end of a fade (default is false). It would replace the full-screen coloration with a colored border encompassing the outer edges of the screen.

Here's how it might look:

//creates a black vignette
/camera @a fade color 0 0 0 true
//creates a vignette that fades in and out
/camera @a fade time 1 1 3 true

Opacity

The opacity would be either a float or an integar (float would be more precise) that you would tack on after the vignette boolean, ranging between 0 and 100 (default 100). The opacity affects how transparent/opaque the coloration appears on screen.

Here are some command examples:

//colors the entire screen blue at 50% opacity
//allows players to still see the game world through it
/camera @a fade color 0 0 100 false 50
//creates a pulsing red vignette at 25% opacity, simulating injury indicators in other video games
/camera @a time 1 0 1 color 100 20 0 true 25

Conclusion

These additions would allow players to be even more artistic with their cinematic creations, and it would be awesome to see them get added into the game.

    Oh, and just as I was wrapping up, I thought about aspect ratio. Haven't discerned how that would be implemented into the command, but it's definitely an interesting idea to consider!
