OrientationMod
by Numernuts
OrientationMod lets a player set the exact camera pitch and yaw with a single command, typed into the chat.
What it does
Yaw turns the view left or right and works like a compass, so changing it moves the camera along the horizontal plane. Positive and negative values turn in opposite directions, and whole numbers or decimals both set the angle with precision.
Pitch controls whether the view looks up or down. Higher values tilt the camera downward, while lower negative values tilt it upward. Each command applies at once, so the result appears as soon as the command is entered.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader for 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 12 release versions covered. Only the client needs it, since the change happens on the player's own screen. It is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. The most recent build is 2.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-02-20.
Key features
Command-based camera control
A short chat command sets the view, so no menu or key binding is needed to aim the camera.
Precise yaw input
Yaw accepts whole numbers or decimals, which allows fine horizontal angles when a shot needs exact alignment.
Exact pitch input
Pitch sets the vertical angle, from looking straight up to looking straight down, using the same numeric input.
Instant effect
The new orientation takes hold immediately after the command runs, which keeps repeated adjustments quick.
Compatibility

Use cases
Building and testing
Builders who need an exact viewpoint to check a structure can set the same pitch and yaw each time.
Showing something clearly
A player can frame a specific block or area from a known angle when describing or recording it.
Who it’s for: Builders, testers and anyone filming a particular spot in the world often need camera angles set to exact values. The mod is a client-side tool and does not change what other players see on a server.
How it compares
AngleSaver is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.10 – 26.3, also All rights reserved and not open source, so it covers a later range than this mod. Camera Command is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on both client and server, so every player on a server needs it. PitchLocker is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.4 only, with a narrower version reach.
