Snaplook By Fruzik
by Fruzichek
Snaplook changes the camera view on the client, letting players hold a key to look at the character from the front or back, then return to first person.
What it does
Pressing a set key switches the perspective to third person from the front while held, and a second press from the back returns the view to first person. The change happens only on the client, so the mod is client-side only and players can join servers without installing it. It is published for Fabric, with files for game versions 1.21 – 26.2 (16 release versions), and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Some server owners point to Hoplite PvP as a setting where the view helps.
Key features
Hold-to-look camera
A set key switches to a front third-person view while held and returns to first person on release.
Back-view toggle
A second press of the key switches to the back third-person view, and another press ends the view change.
Client-only changes
The view change runs on the client alone, so the server gains no new blocks, items or rules.
