Pitch Locker
Pitch Locker limits how far a player can tilt the view up or down, clamping the pitch between -55 and 55 degrees on the client.
What it does
The mod keeps the player's vertical look angle inside a fixed band. Once the pitch reaches the edge, further mouse movement stops changing the view, so the camera cannot be raised toward the sky or lowered toward the ground beyond that point. The cap applies automatically and does not make the view jitter at the boundary.
The mod is written for players who want a more constrained first-person view, and for players who want to match the limits used in Macrovilla+ or to avoid an advantage on competitive servers where a free vertical look is an edge. It runs on Fabric only, with files for 26.2 and 26.3 and the latest file, 1.0.1 for 26.3, published on 2026-10-03. Only the client needs it, since the limit is applied to the local camera and does not change how the server handles the game.

Key features
Vertical pitch clamp
The player's pitch is held between -55 and 55 degrees, so the view stops at fixed upper and lower limits.
Automatic field view cap
The vertical field of view is capped automatically at the limits, with no setting needed to turn it on.
Stable at the edge
The clamp is applied without jittering when the view reaches the boundary, so the camera settles cleanly there.
Local to the client
The limit affects only the local camera, so it does not alter server-side behavior or other players.
