Camera Utils (Neoforge Port)
by TheKryzzz_
Camera Utils (Neoforge Port) gives NeoForge players dynamic zoom, camera detaching and adjustable third person distance, with a few cinematic controls.
What it does
Camera Utils adds zoom that changes with the situation, a free camera that can be detached from the player, and a third person distance that can be set to taste. Two third person perspectives can be customized, and the cinematic controls cover movement and framing. Movement smoothing softens camera motion while the player walks, runs or turns.
The mod is a client-side only NeoForge build and an unofficial port, so only the client needs it and servers can run without it. Files exist for 1.21.1 alone, with 0.4.7 as the latest NeoForge file, published on 2026-07-10. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Dynamic zoom
Zoom adjusts as the view changes, so the camera can pull in or out without a fixed level.
Camera detaching
The camera can separate from the player model to view the scene from another position.
Adjustable third person distance
The distance between the camera and the player in third person can be set to a chosen value.
Custom third person perspectives
Two third person perspectives can each be customized, so different views can be kept ready.
