[NEW] Camera Inertia! - Cross Platform 3.0
The Camera Inertia mod gives the first-person camera weight, adding bobbing, sway and impact reactions to walking, riding, rowing, mining and combat.
What it does
The mod changes only how the first-person camera moves. Steps carry a physics-driven swing, landings and falls shift the view with momentum, and damage kicks the camera during attacks. Horse riding gets a rhythmic gallop with a lateral head-bob and a natural yaw sway, boats show oar strokes as ripples, and mining a block pushes the camera with each pickaxe swing. Every effect can be tuned or disabled separately in the in-game settings, and the mod never takes control of the player's movement.
The mod runs on the client, and a server can run without it, so only the player's client needs to have it installed. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with the source code publicly available. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest build, 3.0.0, was published on 2026-09-01.
Key features
Movement inertia
Walking, sprinting, landing and falling make the camera carry its own weight and momentum.
Horse riding rhythm
Riding a horse adds a rhythmic gallop with a lateral head-bob and a gentle yaw sway.
Combat feedback
Taking damage and swinging weapons kick the view and add a short screen shake.
Mining punch
Each pickaxe swing pushes the camera with a short impact that matches the hit.
Trident and vehicle effects
Charging a Riptide trident pulls the field of view smoothly, while vehicles boost it and add side-blur that scales with speed.
