Smooth Third Person Camera (STPC)

by yoima

Smooth Third Person Camera, or STPC, is a client-only mod that eases third-person camera movement so the view follows the player with less jitter.

What it does

STPC smooths the third-person camera in small steps that depend on elapsed time rather than the frame rate, so the motion looks the same at different FPS values. Its smoothness and maximum distance can be set in the config, and an optional Limit Break mode accepts direct numeric input for those values.

The mod is built around compatibility and leaves the camera's orientation and viewpoint to other mods where it can. Fabric API is required on Fabric. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 29 release versions, 1.7.10 – 26.3, with snapshot builds included. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Smooth third-person movement

    The third-person camera follows player movement with eased motion instead of abrupt changes in direction.

  2. Frame-rate independent smoothing

    The smoothing timing does not change with the frame rate, so the camera feels consistent on slow and fast machines.

  3. Configurable smoothness

    Smoothness and maximum distance can be adjusted, and Limit Break mode allows numeric values beyond the normal slider range.

  4. Coexistence with camera mods

    STPC leaves rotation and perspective to other camera mods where possible, so installed mods keep their own behavior.
