Peek & Fire
by WILD_DRS
Peek & Fire lets the player lean left or right around corners, walls and cover while the camera moves with the character instead of tilting.
What it does
Holding a peek key tilts the character sideways so the head and view step past a corner while the body stays covered. The camera leans with the peek rather than rotating in place, which keeps the view tied to the character's movement. Players can peek out of cover in combat and fire from the lean position.
The mod targets shooter and stealth-style play on Fabric. Because it works on client and server, the server and every player need it for the peek to be consistent in multiplayer. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1 – 26.2 in four release versions: 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.2.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
The mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved, so its code cannot be redistributed under an open license. It was first published on 2026-07-18 and last updated on 2026-08-01.
Key features
Corner leaning
Lean left or right around corners, walls and cover to look past an edge without exposing the whole body.
Camera follows the lean
The camera leans with the peek instead of rotating in place, keeping the view attached to the character.
Movement while peeking
The character can keep moving while the camera leans, so peeking fits into running and strafing.
Combat peeking
Players can peek out of cover during a fight and aim from the leaned position.

Who it’s for: Players who want corner peeking and leaning in shooter or stealth-style play on Fabric 26.1 – 26.2, and server owners who want the same peek behavior for every player on a server.
How it compares
Protection Enchantments Overhaul is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs on client and server. SneakyQoL is a Fabric mod for 1.20.2 – 26.2, open source under the Apache License 2.0, and it is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Peek & Fire is not open source and needs both sides.
