Freecam+
by kiyaaa4444
Freecam+ detaches the camera from the player body on Fabric, so a player can fly around a build, inspect it or take screenshots without moving the character.
What it does
A toggle key switches the free camera on and off. While it is active the view moves independently of the player, and the hand and held item are hidden so they do not appear in the frame. Movement is smooth, and Page Up and Page Down raise or lower the travel speed, so the camera can cover long distances or make fine adjustments.
The mod is aimed at players who want to look over a finished build, record a clip or frame a screenshot, and at anyone who wants a spectator-style view without an operator granting spectator mode. It needs Fabric API as its only required dependency and is published for Fabric alone, with files for 26.1.2 and 26.2. Builds are released under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Toggleable freecam
A key switches the detached camera on and off, returning the view to the player body when it is turned off.
Adjustable movement speed
Page Up and Page Down step the camera speed up or down while it is in use.
Smooth detached movement
The camera glides instead of snapping, which keeps slow inspection and screenshot framing steady.
Hidden hand and item
While the freecam is active, the held hand and item are not rendered, keeping them out of screenshots.

Use cases
Inspecting builds
The camera can move through and around a structure without the player walking the route, which helps when checking details from several angles.
Taking screenshots
Framing a shot without moving the character lets the player set up angles that are hard to reach by walking.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who build, photograph their worlds or want a free view of a scene. Only the client needs the mod, so players on a server can install it without asking the server owner to add anything.
