Better Camera — Roblox-style Camera System for Minecraft
Full rerwrite of mod coming soon. Join our Discord or Telegram to download updates first!
Better Camera is a lightweight, high-performance, client-side Fabric mod that completely reimagines Minecraft's camera physics to match the fluid feel of Roblox. It simplifies standard cycling down to two essential views (First-Person and Third-Person Orbit) while introducing premium features.
🌟 Features:
- 🎥 Orbit Camera: Pan freely around your character in Third-Person mode without rotating your player model. Player turns to face the walking direction only when moving.
- 🔍 Seamless Scroll-to-Zoom: Scroll all the way from First-Person mode out to 15 blocks. Features smooth distance interpolation (smooth zoom).
- 👤 Smooth Player Fading: As the camera zooms close to the head, the player body, armor, cape, and features smoothly fade into transparent invisibility for a breathtakingly clean first-person transition.
- 🔒 Shift Lock (L-CTRL Toggle): Shifts the camera over-the-shoulder, locks player body to camera yaw for strafing/combat, and draws a smooth-fading high-fidelity circular cursor.
- ⚙️ In-Game Settings: Access the settings in-game via a button in the top-right of your Options screen or by pressing
Kat any time. Customize First-Person zoom, Ctrl Lock ability, and turn transitions on/off instantly. - ⚠️ Multiplayer Safety: Prompts a warning screen before entering multiplayer servers, letting you play with Ctrl Lock safely disabled if desired.
