Countered’s Smooth F5 Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on third-person view?
Press F5 to toggle between first-person and third-person view. With this mod installed, the transition will be smooth instead of instant.
Where is the config menu?
Open your mod menu (usually accessed from the main menu or pause screen depending on your mod loader) and look for Countered's Smooth F5 Mod to find the config options.
Can I adjust how fast the camera follows me?
Yes, open the config menu and look for the camera smoothing speed setting. You can increase it for snappier responses or decrease it for more cinematic, flowing movement.
Why does my camera feel laggy or stuttery?
Check your smoothing speed setting in the config—if it's too high, lower it. Also verify your frame rate is stable; low FPS will make smooth camera movement appear choppy.
Does this mod work with other camera mods?
Conflicts can occur if you have multiple mods that modify third-person camera behavior. If you experience issues, try disabling other camera-related mods to test compatibility.
Can I use this mod for recording videos?
Yes, this mod is great for creating cinematic footage—the smooth camera movement gives your recordings a professional, movie-like feel that stiff camera movement can't match.
Does smooth camera affect my ability to see enemies?
No, the smooth camera only changes how the view moves; it doesn't reduce your field of vision or awareness. Many players actually prefer third-person for better situational awareness.
What if I want different smoothing settings for different situations?
You can adjust the smoothing speed in the config menu anytime, even while playing. Experiment with different values to find what feels best for combat, exploration, or building.
Does this mod affect performance or FPS?
The mod is lightweight and shouldn't noticeably impact performance, but very low frame rates will make the smooth camera effect less effective.
Can I disable smooth transitions for F5 but keep smooth camera movement?
Check your config menu—there should be separate options for the F5 transition smoothness and the general camera follow smoothness, so you can customize each independently.
