Immersive First Person
Immersive First Person replaces the floating first-person hand with a full rendered player model, so the arms and body appear in view as they do from the third-person camera.
What it does
Players see their own model from the first-person camera instead of a detached hand, which the author found immersion-breaking. The mod changes how the camera follows the head, so the eyes no longer rotate the whole head. Swimming animation also gets corrected, since arms stay in front of the player instead of rotating with the body.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It is built for NeoForge and published for 1.21.1, with the author testing only that version. Its files cover 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest release is 1.0.3 for 1.21.1, dated 2024-08-17. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the author has said there are no plans for further updates or loader support.
Key features
Rendered first-person model
The player model is drawn in first person, replacing the floating hand with arms and body in view.
Head-independent eye rotation
Looking around rotates the camera without turning the whole head, which keeps the view steady.
Corrected swimming pose
While swimming, the arms stay in front of the player instead of tracking the body rotation.
Fishing line rendering
The fishing line is drawn correctly while riding boats and certain other entities, using the Enough Animations system.
