Pivot

Look around without changing course.

Pivot provides a controlled free-look camera for checking your surroundings without redirecting the player. It is designed around clear limits and predictable resets.

✨ Highlights

• Hold and toggle activation modes
• Independent camera yaw and pitch with adjustable sensitivity
• Horizontal and vertical turn limits
• Instant or smoothly eased return to player direction
• Optional real-direction marker
• Automatic reset on world change, dimension change, death, or disconnect

🎮 Quick start

1. Download the file for your exact Minecraft version and loader.
2. Install Fabric API as well when using a Fabric build.
3. Put the JAR in your profile's mods folder.
4. Start Minecraft and check Controls/settings for the available options.

Hold Left Alt to look around. Hold/toggle behavior, sensitivity, limits, and return animation can be changed from the settings screen.

🧩 Compatibility

• Client-side only; a vanilla server does not need to install it.
• Fabric builds require Fabric API. Forge and NeoForge builds use their matching loader.
• Use the file made for your exact Minecraft version and loader.
• Available from Minecraft 1.16.5 through 26.1.2 where that loader exists.

🔒 Privacy and safety

• No telemetry, analytics, ads, account system, or background network service.
• Configuration stays on your device.
• The mod is designed around conservative defaults and clean fallback behavior.
• Always check the rules of the server you play on; some servers restrict client utilities.

🚫 What it does not do

• Does not manipulate outgoing rotation packets
• Does not redirect combat or interactions to the camera
• Does not change reach, clip through walls, or bypass anti-cheat systems

📦 Support

When reporting a problem, include the Minecraft version, loader, mod version, and the relevant client log. Do not upload a random loader/version combination: each published file is built for the exact version shown on its page.
