Camera Overhaul
by Mirsario
Camera Overhaul adds camera rotations that make movement and gameplay feel more responsive, configurable through a documented file.
What it does
Several camera rotation effects run during play, and each one can be scaled with its own intensity factor. The configuration file lists every option with notes on how it works. Setting a factor to 0.0 turns that effect off, and negative values are accepted, which inverts an effect. Because the mod is client-side only, only the player's game needs it; a server can run without it.
Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings from the game menu. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.14 – 26.3. The author notes that it feels most fluid at high framerates, so players with lower framerates may notice less of the effect. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Scalable rotation effects
Each camera rotation effect has an intensity factor that can be tuned from zero upward, or inverted with a negative value.
Per-feature switches
Any single effect can be disabled by setting its factor to 0.0 without affecting the others.
Movement-linked motion
Camera rotation responds to player movement so that sprinting, jumping and combat produce a visible change in the view.
Rotation tuning
Intensity factors let players set how strongly the camera turns for each action, from subtle to pronounced.

Who it’s for: Players who want to adjust camera motion in their own game, and anyone who prefers a configurable effect set over fixed behavior.
