Perspektive

by r0yzer

Perspektive lets the camera move freely around the player without turning the player's own rotation, a freelook mode for Fabric and Quilt.

What it does

The mod detaches the camera from the player's facing direction, so a player can look around the surroundings while the character keeps walking in the same heading. Released by the mod under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, its source code is open source and public.

Builds are published for Fabric and Quilt, with snapshot builds also published. Perspektive is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Fabric API is needed on Fabric, so it must be present alongside the mod on that loader.

Key features

  1. Free camera rotation

    The camera turns around the player independently of the body, so the view can scan an area without changing the walking direction.

  2. Player rotation kept

    The player's rotation stays as it was, so movement and facing do not change when the camera is moved.

  3. Client-only operation

    Only the game client runs the camera change, and no server-side component is needed for it to work.
