SmoothCoasters
by bergerkiller
SmoothCoasters is a client-side Utility mod that smooths camera rotation on roller coasters in supported servers and single player.
What it does
The mod rotates the player's head automatically while riding a roller coaster, and can lock the mouse so the view follows the track while the player still looks around. The Lock Rotation seat option controls this behavior. Several of the features work on servers as well as in single player, and TrainCarts already supports the server side. Spigot plugin developers can use SmoothCoastersAPI to add the same support.
Two armor stand fixes are included: rotations apply instantly instead of slowly, which removes jitter, and custom models no longer vanish when the player looks away (MC-124519 and MC-96853). The mod does not add roller coasters; it only improves existing ones. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.16.4 – 26.3.
