PerspectiveLockMod
by vyurita
On a server running PerspectiveLockMod, the operator can fix each player's camera to first person, third person from behind, or a front view, and the F5 key stops working for switching views.
What it does
Server owners can fix the camera view of each player from the server side. The lock covers first person, third person back and third person front, and while it is active the F5 key no longer changes the view. Custom server-side commands can drive the lock, so map scripts and minigames can switch views at set moments.
The mod suits custom maps, cinematic sequences, roleplay scenes, minigames and strict PvP arenas where a fixed viewpoint matters. Installation needs PerspectiveLockPlugin, which supplies the plugin support the client side relies on. PerspectiveLockMod runs client-side only, so the server needs nothing beyond the plugin. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.4, with 1.0 as the latest file released under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
Key features
Server-controlled camera lock
The server decides whether a player's camera is locked, so the view stays fixed for the length of a scene or match.
Three locked perspectives
The lock can hold first person, third person back or third person front, chosen to suit the map or scene.
F5 switching blocked
While the lock is active, the F5 key cannot change the camera, so players cannot leave the chosen perspective.
Command integration
Custom server-side commands can set or release the lock, which fits scripted maps and minigames.

Use cases
Cinematic sequences
A map can hold the camera on one angle for a scripted scene, then release it when the sequence ends.
Competitive arenas
A PvP arena can fix every player to first person so that all competitors see the fight from the same viewpoint.
Roleplay scenes
Roleplay servers can lock players to third person front or back for staged scenes without changing the rules of the wider world.
Who it’s for: Server owners building custom maps, minigame networks, roleplay servers or competitive arenas, and map makers who script camera behavior. Players join a server running the mod and need the client mod with PerspectiveLockPlugin installed.
