Omnilook
by rdh
With Omnilook, the player camera rotates around the character in third-person view, so the head can turn while the body stays put.
What it does
Omnilook is a small utility for the player camera. Its freelook and perspective behavior lets the view orbit the character in third person, and the camera direction moves independently of the head. Cinematic shots can be framed by aiming the cursor at a fixed direction while the view stays locked on that heading. The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. Files are published for 87 release versions, b1.7.3 – 26.2, across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt, Babric, Legacy Fabric, LiteLoader and Rift. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Independent camera rotation
The camera turns separately from the player's head movement, so the character can face one way while the view looks another.
Third-person freelook
In third-person view the camera swings around the character, giving a free orbiting angle.
Locked cinematic aim
The view can be held on a chosen direction while the cursor aims elsewhere, which suits framed shots.
