How to Activate Freecam and Fly Your Camera Around

Turning Freecam On and Off

Freecam is toggled with a single keybind rather than a menu option. By default this is usually an unbound or configurable key, so open your Controls settings and look under the Freecam Mod category to find and assign it. Once bound, press the key in-game and your camera detaches from your player's body. Your character stays exactly where it was standing, and you are now free to look around from a floating viewpoint.

Press the same key again to snap your camera back to your player. You will return to the exact position and orientation your body was in, so there is no risk of losing your spot.

Moving the Camera

While freecam is active, use your normal movement keys to fly the camera. You can pass straight through solid blocks, so walls, terrain, and builds will not stop you. Look direction controls where you fly, and you can also move straight up or down using the vertical movement keys.

If the camera feels too fast or too slow, adjust the horizontal and vertical speed values in the mod's configuration. You can also switch the flight style between the default mode and a creative-style mode if you prefer that control feel. When you are done inspecting your build or scouting the area, toggle freecam off and you are instantly back in your body.
