Better Hand Bobbing Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off screen shake but keep hand bobbing?
Open your Video Settings, find the View Bobbing option, and look for the new hand bobbing controls this mod adds. You can now disable screen shake independently while leaving hand bobbing enabled.
Where are the mod settings located?
The mod integrates directly into Minecraft's Video Settings menu under View Bobbing, so there's no separate config screen to find—just adjust the options where you'd normally toggle view bobbing.
Can I disable hand bobbing but keep screen shake?
Yes, the mod lets you customize each element separately, so you can disable hand movement while keeping screen shake, or any other combination you prefer.
Does this mod help with motion sickness?
Yes, many players find that disabling screen shake while keeping hand bobbing reduces motion sickness and disorientation, since the camera stays steady while your hands still move naturally.
Will this mod work with other mods that change view bobbing?
This mod works best when it's the only mod modifying view bobbing; conflicts may occur if you use other mods that alter the same mechanic, so test compatibility if you're using multiple view-related mods.
Does the mod affect performance?
No, this is a lightweight mod that simply separates existing mechanics and should have no noticeable impact on frame rate or performance.
Can I use this mod on multiplayer servers?
Yes, this is a client-side only mod, so it works on any server without requiring the server to have it installed.
What happens if I disable both screen shake and hand bobbing?
Your view will remain completely still during movement, with no camera motion or hand animation—useful if you want a completely static first-person experience.
Do I need to restart Minecraft after changing these settings?
No, changes to hand bobbing and screen shake settings take effect immediately without requiring a restart.
Is there a way to reset the mod settings to default?
You can reset view bobbing to Minecraft's default behavior by re-enabling both screen shake and hand bobbing in Video Settings, which will restore the original combined effect.
