FreeLook
by jmilthedude
FreeLook lets a player rotate the view without changing where the character moves, on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Players can look around while flying with elytra, and the acceleration stays the same. Looking to the left or right while still running forward is also possible, so the camera can be turned independently of the direction of travel. The mod runs on the client alone, so players can use it on servers that do not have it installed. The project is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.19 – 26.1.2 across 26 release versions.
