Axiom Pilot
by ExoBattle
Axiom Pilot introduces a switchable first-person camera for the Axiom editor, letting builders use Axiom's tools from a free-look perspective.
What it does
The pilot mode is switched on and off with a keybinding in the vanilla Controls category, under the Axiom Pilot group. With the mode on, the view turns with the mouse much as in vanilla Minecraft, WASD moves the camera through the air, and the crosshair turns into a cursor that moves across the screen. Holding the mouse button looks around, and the camera stays in place when the button is released.
The active tool keeps working the whole time pilot mode is on. Right click applies the selected tool at the crosshair, left click grabs and drags gizmo handles, and painting, sculpting and other brush tools show a full stroke preview. A small pilot window appears inside the editor and never takes over the toolbar selection. Axiom itself is needed for the editor tools, and Fabric API must also be installed.
Installation needs Axiom and Fabric API alongside Axiom Pilot on Fabric. The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it, and it is published for 1.21.11 only, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-07-22. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Toggleable pilot mode
A keybind switches the Axiom editor into a first-person camera view and back without leaving the editor.
Crosshair tool use
Right click applies the selected tool at the crosshair, and the path tool can pick points, cuboid faces and more.
Gizmo handles and previews
Left click grabs and drags gizmo handles, and brush tools such as painting and sculpting show a full stroke preview.
Small pilot window
A compact window inside the editor shows pilot information and leaves the toolbar selection unchanged.

How it compares
UltimateCustomCrosshair is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it changes the crosshair rather than the editor camera. Region Selection Viewer is also a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it shows selected regions. Pick Up Mod runs on client and server and is released under the MIT License, but it is only for 1.21.11 and does not add a camera mode.

Pilot adds a toggleable first-person camera mode to the Axiom editor. Flip it on and the cursor is captured: the camera follows your mouse like vanilla Minecraft, WASD flies, and the crosshair becomes your cursor. No more holding a mouse button just to look around. Axiom has this only as a hold (right click with no…
