Velorise Camera Lock-on
by Velorise
Velorise Camera Lock-on lets a player fix the camera on a living target with the middle mouse button, and it is built for combat in first person and third person alike.
What it does
Locking onto a target keeps the camera pointed at it while the player moves, and a temporary free look lets the camera drift away and then swing back to the target. Aim strength can be set separately for first person and third person, and the dead zone, lock range, lost-target grace period and steering pause conditions are all configurable. Presets can be saved and shared between players.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 4 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it. Some projectile assistance features are restricted on multiplayer servers with anti-cheat systems. Files for 1.21.11 are the most recent, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Target lock-on
The camera locks onto a living target with the middle mouse button by default, and the binding can be changed.
Temporary free look
The player can move the camera away from a locked target and the camera returns to it smoothly afterward.
Adjustable aim strength
Aim strength is set separately for first-person and third-person views, so the assist can be tuned to each.
Lock conditions
The settings let a player change the dead zone, the lock range, the lost-target grace period and the conditions that pause steering.
Optional projectile assistance
An advanced automation layer can assist aim with projectiles, and it can be turned off for a plain lock-on camera.
