RideLock
RideLock is a lightweight client-side Forge mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 designed to help keep your camera perspective in line with vehicles.
It was heavily inspired by the camera-locking logic in SmoothCoasters. While modern versions of Minecraft have great options for this, 1.12.2 was lacking an option for this. What it does
When you're sitting in a moving vehicle (minecarts, trains, etc.), RideLock calculates the motion of the entity and smoothly interpolates your camera to match the pitch and yaw of the track.
Features
- Toggleable: Hit F9 (default) to turn the lock on or off instantly.
- Client-Side Only: This does not need to be installed on the server.
Special thanks to Bergerhealer for the inspiration via SmoothCoasters (https://github.com/bergerhealer/SmoothCoasters/)
