View Lock

by FamroFexl

View Lock keeps the camera from moving along chosen axes, so a player can hold a fixed pitch or yaw while still looking around.

FabricForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.8.9 – 1.21.4

What it does

Two toggles lock the view on its vertical or horizontal axis: one stops up and down movement, the other stops left and right movement. A locked view can be set to a specific pitch and yaw, or made to track a chosen block, either at a relative position or on whatever the crosshair points at. The view can be released and relocked without losing its saved state. View Lock requires Fabric API on Fabric, and it is published for Fabric and Forge across 21 release versions, 1.8.9 – 1.21.4, under the MIT License. It is open source, and only the client needs it.

Key features

  1. Axis locks

    Separate toggles stop vertical movement and horizontal movement of the view.

  2. Fixed pitch and yaw

    A locked view can be set to exact pitch and yaw values, relative to the current angle.

  3. Block tracking

    The view can follow a chosen block at a relative position, or follow the block under the crosshair.

Yes, on Fabric. Fabric API must be installed next to View Lock on that loader.
