View Model Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the View Model Mod settings?
Open the mod's config screen from the mod list menu, or use its assigned keybind if one is set. From there you can adjust hand position, size, and separate main hand and offhand views.
Does View Model Mod work with other mods that change the first-person view?
It can conflict with mods that also reposition the hand, such as animation or camera overhaul mods, since both try to control the same rendering. If your hand looks wrong, disable the overlapping feature in one of the mods.
Will View Model Mod affect my FPS or performance?
It only changes how the hand is rendered, so the performance impact is minimal on most systems. If you notice a drop, it's more likely coming from another mod running alongside it.
Can I have different positions for my main hand and offhand?
Yes, the mod supports separate main hand and offhand view settings. Enable the separate offhand option in the config and adjust each hand independently.
Why is my hand invisible or off-screen after changing settings?
You likely pushed the position values too far in one direction. Reset the position to default in the config and adjust gradually until the hand is back in view.
How do I make my hand smaller or larger on screen?
Use the hand scale or size option in the mod's config screen. Lower values shrink the hand, higher values enlarge it, and you can preview the change immediately.
Does View Model Mod work on servers and in multiplayer?
Yes, it's a client-side mod, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. Other players won't see your hand changes, only you will.
Can I save different hand position presets?
The mod lets you configure hand position, but preset saving depends on the version and config options available. Check the config screen for any profile or preset buttons before assuming it's supported.
My hand is clipping into blocks or the camera — how do I fix it?
Move the hand forward or adjust its depth value in the config so it sits in front of nearby geometry. Reducing the hand size can also help prevent clipping into walls.
Does View Model Mod change how other players see my character?
No, it only affects your own first-person view on your client. Your character model and animations appear normal to everyone else on the server.
