First Person Camera
by capt_daddy
First Person Camera moves the first-person view slightly forward so the head no longer clips through walls and blocks.
What it does
The mod pushes the first-person camera 0.25 blocks forward from the default position, which gives a wider view of the surroundings and a more natural feel. Vanilla places the camera directly inside the skull, so the head and nearby geometry clip into view when the player looks at a wall. The camera is pulled back by collision detection when it would end up inside a block, and the body is nudged aside when the view turns against a wall. Walking view bob is suppressed near walls.
Everything runs on the client, so a server does not need the mod installed and players join normally. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single loader and no other versions. Its files target 26.1 – 26.2 across four release versions, and the latest file, 26.2.0, is for 26.2 and dated 2026-07-24. The code is not open source, and the author holds All rights reserved, although the public source code is linked from the project.
Key features
Collision clamping
When a wall is close, the camera pulls back so the eyes stop at the surface instead of passing through it.
Body nudge
Turning the camera against a wall gently pushes the body aside, and the body cannot move into a block the offset camera is buried in.
Walking view bob suppression
View bob is smoothly suppressed near walls, so walking along a corridor does not shake the picture.
Raycast item correction
For buckets, glass bottles, boats and other place-on-water items, the target is found from the adjusted camera position rather than the standard eye ray.
Adjustable forward distance
The camera distance forward of the head defaults to 0.25 blocks, a balance between natural feel and collision protection.

What the author says
Moves the first-person camera slightly forward out of your head — and keeps it from clipping through walls. Vanilla Minecraft places the camera right inside your skull. This mod pushes it forward a little (0.25 blocks by default), which feels more natural and gives you a slightly wider view of your surroundings.
