Name: Dynamic FOV Offset
Author: shampooh

Dynamic FOV Offset lets players set separate field-of-view values for first-person and third-person views on Forge for 1.20.1.

What it does

The mod adds a way to give the first-person and third-person cameras different field-of-view offsets. Players who find a low first-person field of view comfortable can keep it while a third-person camera uses a wider one, or the reverse, so the two perspectives no longer have to share a single value.

Switching between perspectives during play becomes less of a jump with this offset. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it targets Forge for 1.20.1 only, with version 1.1.0 as the latest file released on 2025-02-21. The code is all rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

Separate view offsets
First-person and third-person field of view can each be set with their own offset value.
Third-person shooter use
Third-person shooting games often need a narrower or wider view than the default, and the offset covers that.
Lower first-person FOV
Players who prefer a low first-person field of view can keep it while the third-person view stays at a different setting.
Shoulder camera compatibility
The offset works alongside third-person camera mods, so one camera setup can be paired with the field-of-view change.

What the author says

Baby's first mod. I hate MCreator, and had to forcibly remove the junk class it kept adding in order for this to work. But it works. I cannot believe that there are like 3 different mods for "better third person" but they all expect you to have a singular FOV setting for both views apparently. Hello? Ever play a…
