Perspective API Demo
A standalone mod that implements several simple features on top of Perspective API.
TIP
This mod is not intended for actual gameplay, so the features are not perfect — for example, you can still break/place blocks with the mouse in free camera mode. This is not considered a bug.
Perspective: Free Third Person
Similar to vanilla third-person view, but mouse movement only rotates the camera — the player entity does not rotate with it. The player entity automatically turns toward the movement direction.
Using the mouse scroll wheel, you can simultaneously adjust the distance between the camera and the player and the field of view, achieving a Hitchcock-style Dolly Zoom effect centered on the player entity.
Perspective: Free Camera
The camera detaches from the player entity and can be controlled independently.
Controls:
- Mouse movement controls camera rotation
- Movement keys control camera movement
- Space / Sneak keys to ascend / descend
- Drop / Inventory keys (default
Q/E) to roll the camera — rotating around the axis perpendicular to the screen - Mouse scroll wheel to adjust flight speed
All movement is based on the camera's local reference frame, not the world reference frame.
Perspective: Simple Third Person
Nearly identical to vanilla third-person back view, except the camera position is modified so the player appears in the lower-left of the screen.
Modifier: Explosion Shake
A perspective modifier that calculates the effect of explosions on the camera based on the explosion timing, radius, and distance from the camera, applying a shake effect.
