Auto Third Person
by Zerw
Auto Third Person switches the camera to third-person view while a player rides an animal or a vehicle, or glides with Elytra.
What it does
The mod detects when a player mounts a boat, horse or camel, or starts gliding with Elytra, and moves the camera to third person for that activity. When the player dismounts or lands, the camera returns smoothly to the perspective it used before. Auto Third Person is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it. It is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 – 26.3.
Key features
Mount detection
Boats, horses and camels trigger the switch to third-person view when the player gets on them.
Elytra gliding
Starting a glide with Elytra changes the camera to a third-person view for the flight.
Smooth return
After dismounting or landing, the camera moves back to the previous perspective setting.
