FOVU - FOV Unbound!

The vanilla Field of View slider stops at a fixed range. FOVU raises both the minimum and the maximum of that slider, and it applies the limits after game modifiers such as bow draw speed, sprinting and potion effects have been applied, so the final value stays inside the chosen bounds. Only the vanilla slider is changed, and the mod adds its own extra settings next to it.

FOVU keeps the FOV from dropping so low that the screen turns white, and from rising high enough that the camera flips upside down. The mod's documented absolute maximum is 179, which is the point before the camera inverts. A range of 171 to 189 lets players see through walls, floors and ceilings, a use the author describes as cheating on some servers that cap FOV at 170. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and it is published for Fabric only.

FOVU is a client-side only mod, so no server needs it and players can join any server without installing anything. Files exist for 26.2 and for the 1.21.6 – 26.2 range, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest Fabric file, dated 2026-08-20. Modpacks, videos and other works may use the unmodified mod without contacting the author for approval, and a link back to the Modrinth page is appreciated.
