LegacyBob

by ABU008

LegacyBob adds view bobbing back to the game, so the camera sways as the player walks, the motion the game had in earlier releases.

FabricNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.6 – 1.21.5

What it does

The camera moves slightly with each step, reproducing the bobbing effect that older releases of the game used. The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join without installing anything. Its files cover 1.20.6 – 1.21.5, published for Fabric and NeoForge, and Fabric API is required on Fabric.

Key features

  1. Step-synced camera sway

    The view moves with each footstep, matching the bobbing effect that earlier releases of the game used.

  2. Tilt during falls

    Camera tilting makes a fall look more like falling, as the view drops with the player.

  3. Casual play focus

    The effect suits players who enjoy the classic feel of a moving view while exploring.
