Third Person Shooting: Zero
by ChloePrime
Players who fire guns in Third Person Shooting: Zero can keep the ShoulderSurfing camera, because this Forge and NeoForge add-on makes TAC gunplay work in that third person view.
What it does
Third Person Shooting: Zero connects TAC gunplay to the ShoulderSurfing camera. Guns are registered as ShoulderSurfing adaptive items while the player aims, so the over-the-shoulder view follows the weapon in hand. Aiming down sights zooms the third person camera in, and the author notes that recoil works in shoulder surfing mode in the 4.x line.
The mod requires Shoulder Surfing Reloaded and the unofficial TaCZ 1.21.1 NeoForge Port, both of which must be installed alongside it. It is a client-side only mod, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across three game versions, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 6.0.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1 and for 1.21.1. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features

How it compares
TaCZ: Leawind's Third Person Compat is a Forge-only add-on for 1.20.1, client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Remove Third Person is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, but it removes third person rather than adding a shoulder camera. Lock third person is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with a client or server optional environment.
