Dungeons Perspective
Dungeons Perspective switches the camera to a top-down view inspired by Minecraft Dungeons, with a 45-degree angle and a camera that can rotate fully around the character.
What it does
The camera sits above and behind the player, looking down at a 45-degree angle with a 45-degree field of view. Pressing F4 turns the perspective on, a middle-mouse drag orbits the camera around the character, and the Home key locks it into a pseudo-isometric view. Blocks between the character and the camera are culled, and targets behind walls remain selectable. Movement can be set to click-to-move, and bows and crossbows fire on left click. Interacting with objects stays on right-click, with G as a rebindable key.
The mod runs on the client only, so the server and other players do not need it. It is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric and NeoForge. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge files at 3.6.1 for 26.1.2. Sodium is listed as a companion for rendering, and Mod Menu, YetAnotherConfigLib and oωo can add settings screens and config options.
Key features
Top-down camera
A fixed 45-degree angle and 45-degree field of view give a view similar to Minecraft Dungeons.
Free camera orbit
A middle-mouse drag rotates the camera a full 360 degrees around the player, and Home locks a pseudo-isometric angle.
Click-to-move and combat controls
Movement can switch to click-to-move, with left click for attacks and ranged weapons, and right click for interaction.
Contextual camera offset
A camera offset mode shifts the view to make kiting targets easier, and horses can be used with the camera rotation decoupled from attacks.
