Vantage
A natural, full-body first-person experience for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition!
- Full body visible in first person (legs, torso, arms, armor, capes, held items).
- Fully compatible with other addons whenever possible.
- Compatible with texture packs without causing visual issues.
- Works correctly with both touch controls and mouse & keyboard/controller.
- Hit detection stays aligned with your crosshair — interactions still come from your real eye position, so you won't notice any offset.
- Smooth animations without affecting gameplay — vanilla still drives the skeleton, Vantage moves the camera.
- Multiplayer-friendly and survival-friendly — no operator permissions, no cheats, and other players see you completely normally.
- Lightweight and optimized for performance.
- Compatible with the latest Bedrock version (built for 1.21.100 and up, including 1.26).
- Configurable body visibility, with three body distances (Close / Normal / Far).
- Adjustable camera position on all three axes.
- FOV compatibility, with an optional FOV override.
- Crawling, swimming, sneaking, and riding all handled — sneaking and swimming are compensated automatically, and riding keeps your body visible.
- Automatically steps aside for anything that needs the real first-person view: maps, spyglasses, gliding, crawling, and sleeping.
- Support for custom player animations without conflicts.
Controls
/vantage — opens the main menu (toggle, settings, reset). Real custom slash command, permissionLevel: Any with cheatsRequired: false, so survival players without operator rights can use it. No experimental toggles required./vantage:toggle — flips Vantage on/off directly. Bind it to a Command Macro under Settings → Keyboard & Mouse for a true PC hotkey./vantage:config — opens the settings form directly.- Vantage Settings item (
vantage:config_tool) — hold use for about a second to open the same menu. Works identically on touch (tap and hold), mouse (hold right-click), and controller (hold the use trigger). Obtainable from the creative Items tab or /give.
- Sneak + Jump quick-toggle — on by default; switch it off in the settings menu if you sneak-jump often enough to trip it by accident.
Config options
- First-person body — master on/off. When off, Vantage clears the camera entirely and you get the engine's normal first-person view back exactly as if the pack weren't there, perspective key included.
- Body distance (Close / Normal / Far) — how far your torso and legs sit from the camera.
- Camera left / right (-0.5 to 0.5 blocks) — shifts the camera sideways.
- Camera up / down (-0.5 to 0.5 blocks) — raises/lowers the camera.
- Camera forward / back (-0.5 to 0.5 blocks) — pulls the camera slightly behind or in front of your eye point.
- Override field of view — off by default; leaves your video settings alone unless you turn it on.
- Field of view (30 to 110) — only applies while the body is actually being rendered, so spyglass zoom and the map view aren't affected.
- Quick toggle with Sneak + Jump — see above.
- Vanilla view while gliding (on by default) — a horizontal body sits between the lens and the horizon exactly when precision matters most.
- Vanilla view while crawling (on by default).
- Vanilla view with spyglass (on by default) — the zoom overlay is drawn for a true first-person frustum.
- Vanilla view while riding (off by default) — your body stays visible on mounts unless you turn this on.
Maps are not configurable: a held map always hands the camera back, because the first-person map view doesn't render under a camera preset. Happy Ghast mounts always hand back too.
All settings are saved per player and persist across sessions.
