Locked On

by NamecorpLLC

With Locked On, the player's camera can be fixed on a chosen entity while the view keeps tracking it as the player moves.

What it does

The mod works on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It lets the camera lock onto an entity, and calculates the yaw and pitch the player's view must take to face the locked target from the player's current position. The camera angles then move to those calculated angles. Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen. Builds are published for Fabric only, across 1.21 – 1.21.5, with 1.2.2+1.21.5 for 1.21.5 as the latest file, under the MIT License, and the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Camera lock on entities

    The camera can be locked onto a chosen entity, keeping that entity in view while the player moves.

  2. Automatic aim angles

    Yaw and pitch are computed from the player's position relative to the target, then applied to the camera.

  3. Distance on the HUD

    A readout on the heads-up display reports how far the player stands from the locked entity.

What the author says

Locked On works by calculating the needed yaw and pitch of the player based off the position between the player and the locked target. The player's camera angles are then moved to these calculated angles. The mod also displays the current distance between the player and the locked entity on the HUD!
