PJMFreeLook
PJMFreeLook lets a player turn the head and look around without changing the direction the character moves in, a camera behavior borrowed from military simulators.
What it does
The free-look system separates the view from the body. A player can scan the surroundings or keep watch on a threat while the character keeps walking on the same heading, which suits tactical play and combat scenarios. The camera can be toggled or held, and its limits and sensitivity can be adjusted to match the way a player moves.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it installed. It targets NeoForge only, and its single release covers 1.21.1. The code is closed and released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Independent head movement
The head turns on its own, so the view can sweep the area while the body keeps its current direction of travel.
Adjustable camera
Sensitivity, toggle or hold input modes, and camera limits can be tuned to suit different playstyles.
Smooth camera motion
Camera movement feels fluid and responsive, keeping the horizon steady while the view moves.
Tactical awareness
Free-look supports scanning for threats and keeping track of a target without breaking forward movement.
