Camera Overhaul FAQ

Camera Overhaul is configured through the mod's config file, which you can edit directly or through a config screen if your mod loader provides one. Changes usually apply after saving the file and reloading the world or restarting the game.

That's the mod's core feature: it adds rotation and sway to the camera based on your movement and turning. If you don't like it, you can dial the rotation strength down in the config until it feels closer to vanilla.

Set the master toggle or rotation strength in the config to its disabled/zero setting rather than removing the mod. This keeps the mod installed but restores a vanilla-style camera.

The mod is primarily built around first-person camera behavior, so most of its effects are most noticeable there. Third-person behavior depends on your config settings and may be limited or unaffected.

Camera Overhaul is a client-side mod, so it changes only how your own camera looks and doesn't need to be installed on the server. Other players won't see any difference in your movement.

It generally works alongside shader packs since it only adjusts camera rotation, but other mods that also modify the camera can conflict. If the view looks wrong, disable the other camera mod or reduce Camera Overhaul's rotation strength.

The added rotation and sway can trigger motion sickness in some players. Lowering the rotation strength, reducing smoothing, or disabling specific effects in the config usually helps.

It only changes the visual camera, not your actual aim direction or hitboxes, so combat results aren't affected. However, the extra movement can make aiming feel different, so many PvP players reduce the rotation strength.

Reduce the rotation and sway values in the config toward their minimum, or disable the individual effects you don't want. The closer those values are to zero, the more the camera behaves like unmodded Minecraft.

It's a lightweight camera adjustment and typically has little to no impact on frame rate. If you notice stuttering, check for conflicts with shaders or other camera mods rather than the mod itself.
