FlickView [SnapView]
by Zynwro
FlickView lets a player turn the camera by fixed angles with one key press, including 90, 180 and 360 degree spins.
What it does
A single key press turns the view by a preset angle, and the angle can be changed in the settings. Repeated presses while a turn is still running replace the unfinished turn rather than queuing more turns, so the view does not drift past the intended angle. Yaw rotation turns the view left or right, and pitch rotation tilts it up or down. Smooth rotation eases the camera between the two positions, and its speed can be adjusted.
FlickView needs Fabric API and runs on the client alone. Only the player installing it needs the mod, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.17 – 26.3 and the latest file for 26.3. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Preset camera angles
Turns of 90, 180 and 360 degrees are available as presets, and custom angles can be set for the turn.
Single-key turns
One key press starts a turn, so the view can be moved without holding a mouse button or repeating input.
Smooth yaw and pitch
Left-right turns and up-down tilts are separate controls, and pitch changes always ease smoothly between positions.
Adjustable speed
The speed of smooth yaw turns can be changed in the in-game settings, along with the angle options.
