Freecam
by Elpu7
Freecam lets a player move a camera freely around the world while the character stays in place, using the normal movement controls.
What it does
Freecam detaches the view from the player's body so the camera can fly through the world on its own. Movement keys work as they normally do, and a sprint key speeds the camera up. The mouse wheel sets the camera speed, and the speed can be adjusted in the settings. Freecam is a utility for filming, inspecting builds and looking around terrain, and it changes nothing on the server side.
While the camera is detached the character can still eat, drink, use an elytra or fire rockets, and the mod blocks accidental attacks, interactions, item drops and hotbar swaps so a stray click does not affect the world. Players can choose whether the hand and player model stay visible, and an option turns the camera off automatically when the character takes damage. Freecam needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 26.3. Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen for the options.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files exist for 1.21.11 and for 26.1 – 26.3, six release versions in total.
Key features
Free camera movement
The camera flies around the world with the normal movement controls, while the character stays where it was.
Adjustable speed
Sprint and mouse-wheel input change how fast the camera moves, so both slow inspection and quick travel are possible.
Toggle and sprint keys
A key toggles the freecam on and off, and a separate key handles sprinting while the camera is active.
Protected actions
Attacks, interactions, item drops and item swaps are blocked while the camera is detached, so the world is not changed by accident.
Optional automatic disable
The camera can turn off automatically when the character takes damage, and the hand and player model can be hidden or shown.

How it compares
SimpleCoords is a client-side mod released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It is open source and covers 1.21.1 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, so it targets a longer version range than Freecam. Visible Toggle Sprint is client-side and open source under the MIT License, with files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt 1.19 – 1.21.11, and it changes sprinting rather than the camera.
