disable front camera

by DrHirsch

Disable Front Camera removes the front-facing view from the F5 key, so pressing it cycles only between first-person and back third-person.

What it does

Out of the box, pressing F5 moves the view through first-person, back third-person and front third-person, in that order. This mod removes the front view from that cycle, so the key moves between the two remaining modes. It is a client mod: only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Front view removed from F5

    Pressing F5 skips the front-facing camera, so one press less is needed to reach the back view.

  2. Two-mode cycle

    The key alternates between first-person and back third-person, the modes most players use.

  3. Client-side behavior

    The change applies only on the player's side, so it works on singleplayer and multiplayer without server changes.

What the author says

Vanilla Minecraft cycles through three camera modes when you press F5: first-person → third-person back → third-person front → first-person. F5 → behind your back. F5 → first-person. Done.
