YDM's Custom Camera View
YDM's Custom Camera View is a Forge utility that lets players change the camera position, rotation and view, including third person.
What it does
The mod changes where the camera sits and how it turns, and can stop the camera from following the player. Third-person viewing is available with the same controls. It is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs it and a server can run without it. Builds are published for Forge across 11 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.8, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Camera position and rotation
Players can change the camera's position and rotation relative to the character.
Third-person view
The camera can be switched to a third-person perspective around the player.
Detached camera
The camera can be made to stop following the player, so it stays where it was placed.
