IsometryCraft
by Bryce3345
IsometryCraft switches the game camera to a true isometric view, with zoom, free mouse movement and a toggle back to the vanilla view.
What it does
Players who build, explore or simply want a different look can use IsometryCraft to see the world from an isometric angle. The camera can be switched between the isometric view and the standard vanilla view at any time, and the first-person hand can be hidden while isometric mode is active. Camera rotation is smooth, and the zoom level can be adjusted to suit the task.
The mod has an optional in-game HUD that shows camera information, so a player can check the current angle and zoom without leaving the game. Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings entry for the mod when it is installed. IsometryCraft is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, with builds for 1.21 and 1.21.1 published under the MIT License as an open source project. It runs on the client alone, so only the player who wants the view needs it.
Key features
True isometric camera
The camera is placed at a true isometric angle, so blocks and builds are shown in the isometric projection.
Adjustable zoom and free mouse
Zoom can be changed to fit the scene, and the mouse moves freely while the isometric view is active.
Toggle and smooth rotation
A key switches instantly between the isometric and vanilla views, and the camera rotates smoothly when turned.
Camera information HUD
An optional HUD overlay displays camera details and can be turned on or off in game.

Who it’s for: Players who want a different camera angle for building or exploring, in single-player or on a client joining any server. Servers do not need the mod.
How it compares
Smooth Perspective is a Fabric client-side mod with the same environment, published under the MIT License as open source for 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, which covers a wider range of game versions than IsometryCraft. Camera Command is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on the client and server and is not open source, so the server needs it too. Perspective Manager is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and targets 1.21.11 with the environment set to client and server.
