Frequently asked questions

How do I get into third person with this mod?

Press F5 to toggle between first-person and third-person view, just like vanilla. The mod enhances the third-person camera once you are in it.

How do I move the camera around the player in third person?

Hold Z and move your mouse to adjust the camera offset, which changes where the player sits on the screen. Release Z when you are happy with the position.

How do I zoom the camera in or out in third person?

While holding Z, scroll the mouse wheel to change the camera's distance from the player. This lets you pull the view closer or push it further out.

How do I switch the camera between left and right shoulder?

Tap CapsLock to smoothly shift the camera bias between the left and right sides. A short press switches sides; holding CapsLock smoothly centers the view instead.
