FriendlyFreecam
by Larrox
FriendlyFreecam is a client-side utility that lets the camera leave the player and move freely through the world.
What it does
The camera detaches from the player and flies through blocks, while the player stays in place, much like the original Freecam mod. Collision settings have been removed, so the camera passes through walls and terrain. The fork is intended for legitimate uses such as inspecting builds and recording footage. Because the environment is client-side only, only the player's client needs the mod and servers run without it.
Key features
Free camera movement
The camera moves independently of the player, who remains in their original position.
No collision checks
Collision settings are removed, so the camera is not stopped by blocks.
Build inspection and recording
Intended for viewing builds from new angles and recording footage of exploration.

What the author says
This mod is a fork of the Freecam mod with the collision settings removed. It allows the camera to move freely while the player remains in the original position, similar to the original Freecam functionality. The removed collision settings prevent the camera from bypassing blocks.
