Nimble
by Snownee
With Nimble installed, switching perspective in Minecraft Java Edition plays a smooth transition instead of a sudden cut.
What it does
Nimble animates the camera when the player changes perspective, and it can roll the screen while the player flies with an elytra. Auto third person switches the view when the player rides a vehicle. The third-person front view is reached by holding F4. Client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone need the mod. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 4 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, under the MIT License; the code is open source.

What the author says
Nimble is a simple mod that adds smooth transition animation on player perspective changes. It also makes screen rolls when you fly using elytra, and switches perspective when riding a vehicle. The third-person front view now requires holding F4.
