At a glance
Install in the game only; not needed on the server
View Model Customizer
Fine-tune the way your held items look in first person.
Move, rotate and scale the viewmodel, save profiles, and control swing/equip animations - all client-side.
🖥️ Client-side only. Install it for yourself; the server does not need the mod.
✨ What you can tweak
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| 📏 Size | Changes the held-item scale. |
| ↔️ Position X / Y / Z | Moves the item with a range from -100 to 100. |
| 🔄 Yaw / Pitch / Roll | Rotates the item around its own axis — no flying across the screen. |
| ↩️ Reset controls | Reset one setting or restore the active profile's defaults. |
| 📁 Profiles | Create, rename, delete and instantly switch setups. Everything saves automatically. |
| ⚔️ No Swing | Removes swing side movement while keeping item rotation. |
| 📐 Scale Swing | Makes the swing animation respect your item scale. |
| 🚫 No Equip | Disables the draw/equip animation when switching items. |
