Anotherview
by strypel
Anotherview switches the camera between third-person and first-person views automatically when a player enters a cramped space such as a tunnel or small room.
What it does
The mod watches the player's surroundings with a RAYCAST check. A beam is launched upwards from above the player's head at a set distance each tick, and when it collides with a block other than foliage, the view changes to first-person. Once the player leaves the narrow space, the camera returns to the third-person view.
Only one operating mode is available at present, the narrow-space detection method, though the design allows more to be added. Pressing the minus key by default cycles the mode, and the hotkey can be rebound in the controls menu. The mod works on servers and is open source under the MIT License.
Forge is the only loader with files, for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.20.4. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.4, published 2024-08-16. Shoulder Surfing Reloaded is optional; when it is installed, Anotherview also works with its first-person view. Installation means placing the anotherview jar in the mods folder.
