Free Look or Perspective
Free Look or Perspective lets a player move the camera around the character without turning the player's head, for a NeoForge client.
What it does
The camera can be moved on its own, so the player's body and head keep facing the same direction while the view looks elsewhere. The camera movement is controlled by a free-look key, and the config file can switch it off or turn on other perspective behavior. The mod runs only on the client, so a server needs nothing installed for it to work.
