Second Person Camera

# Second Person Camera Second Person Camera is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds a true **second-person camera mode**. Instead of switching control to another entity, the mod keeps full control on your own player while moving the camera to a nearby mob. You still walk, interact, and play as yourself — the camera only observes the world from another creature's point of view. ## Features - Adds a **second-person mob camera** as an extra step in the F5 camera cycle - Keeps control on the player at all times - Never transfers input to the selected mob - Uses the mob's own head direction and eye/camera position - Lets you switch between nearby mobs - Shows which mob is currently used as the camera target - Handles missing targets safely with graceful fallback - Fully client-side, no server support required ## Default controls - **F5** — cycle camera modes, including second-person mode - **V** — next target - **B** — previous target - **R** — refresh nearby targets ## How it works When second-person mode is enabled, the mod searches for nearby mobs in a configurable radius and selects one as the active camera target. The player still: - moves normally - breaks and places blocks as normal - remains the real controlled entity The selected mob: - is **not** possessed - does **not** become controllable - keeps its normal AI and movement - only provides the camera position and orientation ## Target handling The mod includes a safe fallback system: - If the current target leaves range for a moment, it can be kept briefly - If the target dies or disappears, the mod switches to another valid mob - If no mobs are nearby, the camera returns safely without freezing or crashing ## Compatibility - Minecraft **1.21.11** - Fabric Loader - Fabric API - Client-side only ## Notes This mod is designed for perspective gameplay, cinematic recordings, experiments, and just weird fun. It does **not**: - teleport the player - modify mob AI - control the mob - require server installation ## Installation 1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.11 2. Install Fabric API 3. Put the mod `.jar` into your `mods` folder 4. Launch the game ## Credits Created for Fabric 1.21.11 as a client-side camera experiment focused on making second-person view actually playable.
