F5 Split
by 02Alexis
F5 Split is a Fabric client mod that lets players bind separate keys for front, back and third-person camera views, each with its own field of view.
What it does
Each camera view gets its own keybind, so a player can switch to the front or back camera, or to third person, without cycling through the others. A hold-to-use setting lets the custom field of view apply only while a key is held, and a smart return option controls whether the camera goes back to the first-person view that was active before the switch when the key is released or toggled.
The mod is aimed at players who want a camera setup for cinematic footage or for checking their surroundings during PvP. Its settings are reached through YetAnotherConfigLib, and Mod Menu can open the same screen. Fabric API must be installed alongside it. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Files exist for Fabric across 16 release versions, with 2.1.0+mc26.2 for 26.2 as the latest file, updated 2026-06-21. The license is a custom one and the mod is not open source; the terms also allow non-commercial distribution in bundles, and contributions made through pull requests fall under the same license.
Key features
Separate view keybinds
Front, back and third-person views each have their own key, so a single press selects the view directly.
Independent field of view
The custom field of view for each view can be set separately, so zoomed and normal views do not share one value.
Hold or toggle activation
The custom field of view can be held for the length of a key press or toggled on and off, depending on the chosen behavior.
Smart return behavior
When a view is released or toggled off, the camera can return to the first-person view that was active before, or stay where it is.
