Camera Enhancements
by SyFloG
Camera Enhancements lets a player detach the camera from the body in survival-friendly ways, with a free camera, a locked tripod mode and saved camera positions tied to hotbar keys.
What it does
Pressing V leaves the body and moves the camera freely in a spectator-like mode. The free camera cannot pass through blocks and cannot interact with anything, and activating it does not prevent falling damage, so the mod stays close to survival play. Movement and interaction with the player's own body are blocked while the camera is detached.
Holding B and pressing a hotbar key stores the current camera position in that slot, and N with a hotbar key recalls it. Pressing N followed by a hotbar key switches to tripod mode, where the camera keeps a locked position but can still move. Holding the left Alt key rotates the camera around the player model without changing the direction the player faces, which helps when looking back while flying with an elytra.
The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join without installing it. It is built on Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and the author welcomes suggestions for new features and updates to existing ones.
