First Person View

by TheKryzzz_

First Person View changes the camera so players see their own character's 3D model, including torso, arms, legs, head and equipment, from the first-person perspective.

What it does

Players can switch the view to the character's own body, so the arms, torso, legs and head appear where the player looks. The equipment worn by the character is drawn on the same model. A press of F6 turns the effect on or off at once, without leaving the game.

The settings screen lets players choose which body parts are shown, so the torso, arms, legs or head can each be hidden or displayed. Cape visibility is set on its own, independent of the other parts. The mod is built for Forge 1.12.2 and is listed under Social, Game mechanics, Utility and Management.

Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. The mod is published for Forge alone, as the 1.12.2 build, with the latest file 0.2.7 dated 2026-10-15. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Instant toggle

    Press F6 to switch the first-person body view on or off without opening a menu.

  2. Body part visibility

    Choose whether the torso, arms, legs and head are displayed in the first-person view.

  3. Independent cape setting

    Cape visibility is adjusted separately from the body parts, so a cape can be hidden or shown on its own.

  4. Equipment on the model

    Worn equipment is drawn on the 3D character model, so the player sees their gear from the first-person perspective.
