CDNPerspective 3D
by Lunatic
With CDNPerspective 3D, a player can turn the camera a full 360 degrees while keeping the movement direction unchanged, using a dedicated perspective mode.
What it does
Pressing the F4 hotkey by default switches the client into perspective mode. In that mode the mouse looks around freely and only the camera direction changes, while movement keeps following the original heading. Pressing the hotkey again returns to the previous perspective.
The mod requires Fabric API on version 1.19.3 or later and is installed on both the client and the server. Once a player joins, the server sends a packet to that player's client, and a client without the mod ignores it. Only the released Fabric files are published, with 1.6 for 1.21.4 as the latest, and the mod is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source and public on GitHub.
The source code and issue tracker are public, so bugs can be reported through the Issues section of the GitHub repository. Because the server-side packet can disable the features on a client, the author notes that the mod is not a reliable anticheat, since Java code can be reverse-engineered and its checks removed.

How it compares
Freelook 360 is client-side only, published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License, and is not open source. Perspective Enhancements is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.3. Scale Camera Fix is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20.5 – 1.21.8, so it reaches later versions than CDNPerspective 3D.
