KeepTheFOV
KeepTheFOV stops the Slowness effect from lowering the field of view in Minecraft, so the view keeps the setting a player chose.
What it does
When a player has the Slowness effect, vanilla Minecraft narrows the field of view. KeepTheFOV holds the field of view at the value the player selected, so the view stays steady while the effect is active. The change affects only what is shown on screen and leaves the Slowness effect itself in place, so movement speed is still reduced as usual.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition that runs on the client alone. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. Its background threads handle telemetry network requests, which the author describes as separate from gameplay. Files are published for Fabric only, across 47 release versions 1.14 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.0 for 26.2, is dated 2026-07-08.
The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Dependencies are not required beyond the Fabric loader itself.
Key features
Steady field of view
The selected field of view is kept while the Slowness effect is active, so the on-screen view does not narrow.
Movement speed unchanged
The mod only alters the displayed field of view, and the reduction in movement speed from Slowness still applies.
Lightweight client change
The change runs entirely on the client and does not touch server logic or the game's world data.
Telemetry on background threads
Network requests for telemetry run on background threads rather than the main game thread.

How it compares
FOV Toggle is a Fabric, client-side only mod for 1.21 – 26.3 under a custom license, so its terms differ from the MIT License used here. Advanced FOV is also a Fabric client-side mod but is built for 26.2 alone and is not open source. Speed FOV Limiter is the one alternative that is open source, released under the MIT License for 1.20 – 26.3.
