Advanced Pivot Control
by WinterWolfSV
Advanced Pivot Control gives the player finer control over camera pitch and yaw than the stock settings in the game offer.
What it does
Arrow keys adjust the pitch and yaw of the camera, and the default steps are set to 45 degrees for pitch and 30 degrees for yaw. Players can change these values through the configuration screen, which is opened from Mod Menu once Cloth Config API is in place. Because the mod only changes how the camera turns, it leaves the world, the server and other players untouched.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. Installing it means placing the JAR in the mods folder of the Minecraft installation directory and launching the game with a Fabric profile. Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are required, with Mod Menu providing the settings screen. Files cover game versions 1.19 – 1.21, and snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Arrow key camera control

Pitch and yaw steps can be changed from their 45 and 30 degree defaults in the mod's settings.
Configuration commands
A set of commands lets players adjust the mod's behaviour without editing files by hand.
