Shoulder Surfing - Pehkui Compat
With Pehkui installed, Shoulder Surfing - Pehkui Compat corrects camera clipping when a player's scale is changed below the normal size.
What it does
When Pehkui changes a player to a smaller size than the vanilla default, the third-person camera of Shoulder Surfing can clip through nearby blocks or jump erratically, most noticeably while climbing or standing in front of a facehugging block. This compat mod adjusts the camera so it stays clear of those obstructions at reduced scales.
Shoulder Surfing Reforged is named as a required addon, and the base Shoulder Surfing mod is required for the camera function itself. Pehkui is needed for the scale change, and the compat mod adds the correction on top. Other mods that alter player size completely are optional and need no separate setup.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge, with the 1.0.1 file for 1.20.1 as the latest on both loaders, released 2025-10-14. Only the client needs it, so servers run without installing it.
