Install in the game only; not needed on the server
A camera that listens to you, not the other way around.
Adds proper third-person camera control to Minecraft.
You can adjust distance, height, and side offset — the camera follows the slider live, while you're still dragging it, not just after you let go.
If it's hard to dial in the numbers by eye, there's a free camera: turn it on, fly around, park wherever looks right, then hit Enter — that spot becomes your camera.
And if the camera keeps whipping around with every twitch of your mouse, you can lock its rotation. It stops turning, but keeps following you wherever you go.
Distance can stretch out to 40 blocks — the camera won't clip through walls.
