photomode
by suntsov22
PhotoMode is a Fabric client mod that adds a free camera for taking screenshots from positions that are hard to reach in survival.
What it does
Players move a camera through the world independently of their character, which lets them frame shots from angles that survival movement normally blocks. The camera cannot pass through blocks, so it gives no practical advantage on multiplayer servers. Its controls and key assignments are listed in a dedicated section of the mod settings.
Key features
Free camera movement
The camera moves freely around the world, separate from the player's character, for composing screenshots.
Blocked by solid blocks
The camera does not fly through blocks, so it reveals no hidden areas and offers no edge on servers.
Key assignments in settings
Camera controls can be rebound in a key assignments section inside the mod settings.

What the author says
Photomode is a client mod for free camera movement and creating screenshots, but unlike other mods, it doesn’t allow flying through blocks, which doesn’t provide a noticeable advantage on servers. All mod settings are in the key assignments section.
