Anotherview

A mod that greatly simplifies third-person play. Adds switching the view from any person to first person view when entering a room or other enclosed space.

Features

View controller - automatically switches any view to first-person view when entering a cramped room
Several modes of operation (at the moment of alpha1.0.3 release there is only one - RAYCAST)
Hotkeys to change the operating mode (default is minus)
Fully compatible with Shoulder Surfing Reloaded
Client side only - can work on any servers

Installation guide

Open the .minecraft/mods folder
Move anotherview-[mc_version]-[mod_version].jar inside the folder.
Start the game

Guide

In the game, press minus the default to change anotherview mode

How it works

The mod currently has only one mode of narrow space detection and it is called RAYCAST.

RAYCAST is a mode in which every tick above the player's head a beam is launched upwards for a certain distance. When the beam collides with any block except foliage, the mod switches the view to a first-person view.
