CartCam
CartCam is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge utility that keeps the camera facing the direction a minecart travels while a player rides it.
What it does
While riding a minecart, the view stays aligned with the cart's movement, so a turn on a curved rail does not spin the camera with it. The player still moves the mouse to look around freely; the mod only adjusts the view relative to the cart's direction. Fabric API is required on every loader it supports.
Only the client needs CartCam, so players install it and servers run without it. Files cover 26.2 and 26.3, and the mod is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Fixed forward view
The camera keeps facing the direction the minecart moves, even when the rail curves.
Free mouse look
Players can still look around with the mouse while riding; only the base view follows the cart.
Relative view adjustment
The view is adjusted relative to the cart's movement rather than locked to the world direction.
