Zergatul’s FreeCam Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on FreeCam?
Press F6 (the default keybind) to toggle FreeCam on and off. You can rebind it in the controls menu if F6 conflicts with something else.
Does FreeCam move my actual player?
No — your player stays exactly where it was, and only the camera detaches. This is what makes it safe for scouting and filming without falling into lava or triggering mobs.
Can I fly through blocks in FreeCam?
Yes, the camera moves through blocks and terrain freely, similar to spectator mode. Your player is unaffected and stays put.
Why am I breaking blocks at my player's position instead of where my camera is looking?
Interactions default to your player's position, not the camera view. Enable the option that bases interactions on the FreeCam view if you want to break blocks or hit entities from where you're looking.
How do I make smooth camera paths for cinematics?
Use the path commands, for example .freecam path add 1000, to add points the camera travels between. Chain several points to build a full cinematic route or time-lapse.
How do I change the camera speed and smoothness?
Use .freecam speed to adjust how fast the camera moves and .freecam acc to control how smoothly it accelerates. Tuning both gives you anything from snappy scouting to slow cinematic drifts.
How do I lock the camera in place or keep it on my character's eyes?
FreeCam lets you lock the camera's position or keep it centered on your character's eyes. Use the lock option for static shots and the eye-centered option for first-person-style filming angles.
Can I hide my hands or crosshair while in FreeCam?
Yes, there are options to choose whether your hands and crosshair render while FreeCam is active. Turning them off gives you a clean shot for screenshots and video.
Is FreeCam allowed on multiplayer servers?
It's a client-side mod, but many servers consider FreeCam cheating since it reveals terrain you couldn't normally see. Check the server's rules before using it online.
Does FreeCam hurt performance or conflict with other mods?
FreeCam itself is lightweight, but flying far from your player forces chunks to load, which can cause lag on low-end systems. Mods that change rendering or camera behavior may conflict, so test with them disabled if you see issues.
