Velaris Core
by Vexyenv
Velaris Core is a client-side Fabric utility for PvP, adding a rear-view camera, zoom, fullbright, a status crosshair and HUD readouts.
What it does
Holding a key briefly rotates the camera behind the character while the player keeps facing forward, which lets a player check on opponents chasing during a fight. A zoom key narrows the field of view so distant objects are easier to read when aiming, scouting or placing blocks. Fullbright lifts darkness in caves, at night and underground without changing gamma settings.
The crosshair changes depending on what it points at, giving clearer feedback on entities and blocks during combat. The HUD can show armor durability, FPS and network latency, so a player can watch condition and lag without opening the inventory. A shulker box preview shows its contents without placing it. The mod is published for Fabric only, on 1.21.11 and no other version. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Velaris Core is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
