Body Follow Head
by GapRadeon
Body Follow Head makes the player's body turn with the camera at once, with no delay, on the Fabric loader for 1.21.11.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft the torso only begins to follow the view after the angle between the two passes about 75°. This mod removes that delay, so the torso lines up with the head at all times. Decorative accessories fixed to the back or shoulders, such as wings, cloaks and backpacks, stop lagging behind the camera during quick turns.
The mod only changes how the character model is rendered. It replaces one rotation formula with another that costs the same, so it does not affect performance, and it gives no gameplay advantage: attacks, shooting and movement still follow the camera angle as in vanilla. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.21.11 only, and the mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It sends nothing to the server and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Instant body rotation
The character's body turns with the camera without the default angular delay, so the torso and head stay aligned.
Accessory alignment
Wings, cloaks and backpacks attached to the back follow the view directly instead of trailing during sudden camera movement.
Rendering-only change
The mod only alters the rendered model. Attack direction and movement stay tied to the camera, as in vanilla.
Equal-cost formula
The replacement rotation formula costs about the same as the vanilla one, so frame rate is not affected.

How it compares
Camera Command in Java is not open source, is released under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and has a file for 1.21.11 only. xinziafk is also MIT licensed and not open source, but it is client-side only and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. Both are different tools from Body Follow Head, which is client-side only and works with 1.21.11 alone.

What the author says
A small client-side mod that removes the built-in delay in body rotation relative to the view direction. In vanilla Minecraft, the character's body begins to follow the camera only after the angle between the view direction and the torso exceeds approximately 75°. Because of this, decorative accessories attached to…
