Perspektive Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on freelook mode?
Press your freelook keybind (default is usually a mouse button or key you've configured) to enter perspective mode. Your camera will now move independently from your player's direction until you release the key or toggle it off.
Can I walk forward while using freelook?
Yes, you can move in any direction using WASD while freelook is active. Your character will walk in the direction you're moving, but your camera stays pointed wherever you're looking.
What key should I bind freelook to?
That's up to you—open your controls settings and assign freelook to whichever key feels comfortable. Many players use a mouse button (like middle-click or side buttons) or a modifier key like Alt or Shift.
Does freelook work in first-person and third-person?
Freelook is primarily designed for first-person view to let you look around without turning your body. In third-person, the feature may behave differently depending on your camera setup.
Can I use freelook while flying in Creative mode?
Yes, freelook works in Creative mode and is especially useful for flying around and capturing angles without adjusting your flight direction.
Why isn't my freelook keybind working?
Make sure you've actually bound a key to freelook in your controls menu—the mod won't activate without a keybind set. Also check that no other mod or game setting is conflicting with that key.
Does freelook affect my player's rotation on the server?
No, freelook is client-side only. Other players see your character facing the direction you were looking before you activated freelook, not where your camera is pointing.
Can I use freelook while in a boat or minecart?
Freelook should work while riding vehicles, letting you look around without changing the direction the vehicle is moving.
Does this mod work with other camera mods?
Perspektive Mod is designed to work with Fabric, but conflicts can occur if you're using other mods that heavily modify camera behavior. Test with one camera mod at a time if you experience issues.
Will freelook slow down my game or cause lag?
Perspektive Mod is optimized for Fabric and should have minimal performance impact. If you notice lag, it's likely caused by another mod or your system, not this one.
