Speed FOV Limiter
Speed FOV Limiter caps how far the speed, slowness and soul speed effects can widen or narrow the field of view, so high effect levels stop distorting the screen.
What it does
Vanilla's FOV effects option only scales the distortion down, so a high speed level still stretches the view more than many players want. This mod sets a hard limit instead: the field of view is clamped to a maximum and minimum multiplier, and only the targeted effects are affected. The author made it after server-given effects pushed the field of view too far in play.
The limits are set in a config screen built on YetAnotherConfigLib, which must be installed alongside it. Mod Menu is optional and can open that screen from the mod list. The game's FOV setting, 90 in the author's configuration, is the baseline the multipliers apply to, and the maximum and minimum multipliers are both adjustable. Since version 1.3.0, soul speed effects can also be limited.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker linked from its page. Files target Fabric only, across 20 release versions 1.20 – 26.3, and the latest is 1.3.0 for 26.3, published on 2026-09-06.
Key features
Hard FOV limit
Field of view is clamped to a set maximum and minimum multiplier, so strong effects cannot push it past those bounds.
Targeted effects
Only the speed, slowness and optional soul speed effects are limited, leaving other field of view changes untouched.
Configurable multipliers
The maximum and minimum FOV multipliers are set in a config screen, against a base FOV setting of 90.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who find high speed or slowness effects distort the view too much, and server communities that want a limit on that distortion. Both sides need no installation beyond the player's own client.

What the author says
Allows you to set limits on what the speed and slowness effect can do to your Fov. I made this mod because I don't like the high FOV effects that a server sometimes gives you, maybe it is useful for someone else too.
