Epic Fight Through Your Eyes

Live Mouse Control

Your camera follows the animation, but you can still look around while it’s playing. You’re not stuck waiting for an attack to finish before moving your view.

Look to the side, look up, look down. The animation keeps going while you choose where to look. That’s a big part of what makes this feel like you’re actually in the fight instead of just watching it.

Your mouse movement and the animation movement are handled separately too. Comfort settings and smoothing work on the animated part of the camera, so moving your mouse fast does not get mistaken for some crazy animation that needs to be calmed down. None of this changes attack speed, hit frames, combo timing, or the actual animation clock.

Features

• Visible First Person Body. See your torso, arms, legs, armor, weapons, and Epic Fight poses while playing in first person.
• Custom Camera Mode. Fine tune how calm, smooth, realistic, or aggressive you want your camera to feel.
• Extensive Camera Settings. Adjust attack movement, smoothing, walking and running motion, side to side tilt, skill behavior, camera freedom, and more.
• Motion Sickness Protection. Keeps cinematic movement while automatically calming down extremely fast or disorienting spins and flips.
• Unhinged Mode. Experience Epic Fight animations with their full camera movement, including aggressive spins, rolls, flips, and other intense motion.
• Per Skill Camera Controls. Choose how individual Epic Fight and Nightfall skills affect your camera. Choose Default, Follow Animation, or Stabilized.
• Per Skill Body Visibility. Choose whether your first person body is visible or hidden during individual skills.
• Roll & Skill Camera Options. Keep highly rotational skills more stable or let your camera fully follow their animations.
• Realistic Walking & Running Camera. Adds configurable bobbing, movement, and side to side leaning outside of combat.
• Camera Freedom / Extended Look. Gives you optional extra camera freedom for a less restricted first person experience.
• Anti Clipping Protection. Helps prevent your camera from clipping into your body, armor, arms, or weapons during extreme movement.
• Broad Epic Fight Addon Support. Designed to naturally work with Epic Fight animations from addons such as Weapons of Miracles, Nightfall, and more.
• Shader Support. Designed to work alongside modern Minecraft rendering setups, including Iris and Sodium, with Derivative explicitly tested.
• Lowered Shield View. Keeps shields visible without having them take up as much of your screen.
• Quick F8 Toggle. Quickly switch back to the standard camera without opening the settings menu.
• Animation Driven First Person. Your camera moves with Epic Fight animations, including leaning, turning, pitching, rolling, spinning, and full body movement.
• Full 360° and 720° Spin Tracking. Clean full turns stay readable instead of disappearing just because the animation starts and ends facing the same direction.
• Spin Reduction Options. Reduce spins inside longer combos or keep detected full spins facing forward if that is more comfortable for you. Both are off by default.
• Downward View Assist. Motion Sickness Protection can lift the animated view during eligible attacks that would otherwise point you way too far into the ground.
• Cleaner Recovery. Camera corrections are released through animation endings, interruptions, replacements, and chained attacks so old movement does not get stuck on your view.
• Weapon Stance Calibration. Different idle poses can use their own neutral reference so a weapon stance does not automatically leave you staring at the floor.
• Crouch Calibration. The camera still lowers with the body while keeping a useful forward view and normal mouse freedom.
• Physical Body & Armor Clearance. The local body can use small presentation adjustments around the eye instead of relying on ordinary body fading or deleting nearby pieces.
• Body & Camera Alignment. Comfort corrections are paired with the local body presentation so the fighter and camera stay in the same first person reference frame.
• Hit Reaction Camera. Choose a stabilized hurt reaction or let valid hurt animations follow through the normal camera pipeline.
• Attack Turning. Choose Locked, Limited, or Free body turning during attacks without restarting the attack animation.
• Smart Committed Attack Interruption. An optional server controlled combat rule lets eligible committed attacks trade through ordinary hits while stronger reactions, knockdowns, death, and disabling states still win.
• F9 Settings Shortcut. Open the camera settings directly without going through Mod Menu every time.
  
  
  
  
  

  Spins, Motion Comfort & Recovery

  Spins are supposed to look like spins, so I didn’t want Motion Sickness Protection to just flatten every big turn until nothing is left. Epic Fight Through Your Eyes follows the whole rotation, which means clean 360° and 720° turns can stay readable even when the animation ends facing the same direction it started.

  For really violent repeated spin bursts, protection can calm the extra repetitions while still keeping one readable turn and returning smoothly to the animation’s real ending pose. It looks at the motion itself, not the weapon name or which addon it came from.

  • Reduce Combo Spins. Reduces detected turns that are buried inside longer combos. Standalone spin moves still stay rotational. Off by default.
  • Keep Spin View Forward. Replaces detected full spins with a smooth path between the valid start and end directions while protection is enabled. Off by default.
  • Downward View Assist. Helps keep forward visibility when an eligible non spin attack drives the animated view too far toward the ground.

  The recovery system also handles animation endings, interruptions, replacements, and chained attacks. If you move your mouse during all of that, the camera recovers around where you are looking now, not where you were facing before the attack started.

   

   

   

  Body Alignment, Clearance & Crouching

  Epic Fight Through Your Eyes keeps your body lined up with your view, even when comfort settings calm down the camera movement. Your body follows those adjustments too, so your arms, armor, and weapons stay where they should.

  Your torso and arms can shift a little to make room around the camera, with armor thickness taken into account too. You should still be able to see your body without having it get in your face. Your head stays hidden so you aren't looking through the inside of it.

  Crouching lowers your view with your body without making you stare at the ground. You can still look around normally. The camera height offset defaults to +0.157 blocks, and you can adjust it from +0.001 to +0.200.

  Your torso, arms, and legs stay visible when you use a weapon. If you choose to hide your body for a particular skill, that setting still applies.

   

   

  Combat Control & Reactions

  Looking around and turning your body have separate settings. You can keep looking around normally while Attack Turning decides how much your fighter is allowed to turn during the attack.

  • Locked. Keeps Epic Fight’s normal turning control.
  • Limited. Lets the body turn with a configurable speed limit.
  • Free. Lets your body follow where you turn your mouse. This is the default.

  Hit Reaction Camera is separate too. Stabilized keeps valid hurt animations calmer, while Follow Animation lets the reaction go through the normal camera pipeline.

  Smart Committed Attack Interruption

  This one is a combat option, not a camera effect. With Smart enabled on the server or host, an ordinary eligible hit does not always cancel an attack that is already inside a valid committed strike window. Damage still applies, and repeated hits can build pressure until the target is overwhelmed.

  Strong reactions, knockdowns, death, and real disabling states still take priority. It does not increase damage, make hitboxes bigger, speed attacks up, or create extra damage windows. If you want normal Epic Fight behavior, set it back to Epic Fight Default.

   

Settings & Customization

Epic Fight Through Your Eyes is built to be heavily customizable, so you’re not forced into one specific kind of first person experience. You can keep things subtle and realistic, turn the animation movement way up, or create your own mix somewhere in between.

Press F9 to open your settings, or use Mod Menu. Open Mod Menu, select Epic Fight Through Your Eyes, and open Configure to customize these settings.

• Attack Camera Strength. Control how strongly attacks move your camera.
• Camera Smoothing. Adjust how smooth or immediate camera movement feels.
• Walking & Running Bobbing. Choose how much movement you feel during normal gameplay.
• Side to Side Tilt. Control how much your view leans while moving left and right.
• Roll & Skill Behavior. Decide whether rotational skills stay stabilized or follow their animations.
• Per Skill Camera Settings. Set individual Epic Fight and Nightfall skills to Default, Follow Animation, or Stabilized.
• Per Skill Body Visibility. Choose whether your first person body is visible or hidden during individual skills.
• Camera Freedom. Adjust how much extra freedom your first person camera has.
• Motion Sickness Protection. Keep the immersive movement while reducing the most extreme motion.
• Unhinged Settings. Push the camera toward the full intensity of the original animations.
• Reduce Combo Spins. Reduce detected spins inside longer attack combos.
• Keep Spin View Forward. Keep detected full spins on a smoother start to end view path while protection is active.
• Extreme Motion Controls. Tune the protection threshold, damping strength, maximum animation rotation speed, roll comfort speed, and cumulative spin sensitivity.
• Idle Stance Calibration. Use the registered weapon or stance idle pose as the neutral camera reference, with a separate neutral pitch trim.
• Camera Height. Fine tune the local eye height from +0.001 to +0.200 blocks. The default is +0.157.
• Roll View Position. Choose Animated or Eye Level positioning for recognized roll behavior.
• Hit Reaction Camera. Choose Stabilized or Follow Animation for valid hurt reactions.
• Attack Turning. Choose Locked, Limited, or Free turning, plus response time and limited turn speed controls.
• Animation Follow Strength. Adjust how much animated rotation contributes to the camera.
• Roll Strength. Adjust roll contribution separately.
• Position Follow & Smoothness. Tune positional movement independently from camera orientation.
• Landing & Impact Strength. Adjust how much landing movement comes through during normal locomotion.
• Headwear & Hair. Control supported hair, hats, and head equipment. The core head stays hidden.
• Embedded Arrow Visibility. Show or hide arrows embedded in your local body. Hidden by default.

Set it up however you like. Have the movement subtle, let every swing and spin come through, or mess with the settings until it feels right for you.

Walking and sprinting still have their own movement system too, so vertical steps, side sway, walking roll, sprint intensity, locomotion smoothing, and landing impact can all be tuned without weakening your attack camera.

Epic Fight Addon Compatibility

Epic Fight Through Your Eyes is designed for broad compatibility with Epic Fight addons without needing a separate camera patch for every weapon or animation.

Instead of checking for specific weapons, the camera reacts to the Epic Fight animation that is actually playing. If an addon introduces new attacks, spins, rolls, flips, skills, or other animated movement through Epic Fight, your first person camera can naturally react to that movement too.

Addons I Have Used

• Weapons of Miracles
• EpicFight Nightfall
• Advanced Movesets

Additional addons planned for compatibility testing

• Epic Fight Battle Arts
• EpicFight Extra
• Ascended Arts for Epic Fight
• Epic Fight Dawn Day

Because the camera follows Epic Fight’s animation system rather than hardcoding individual weapon names, it’s also designed to naturally work with many other Epic Fight addons and future addons, as long as they use compatible Epic Fight animation behavior.

Known Issues

I haven't tried every armor model, shader, or addon combination, so let me know if something looks off with your setup.

If something clips, disappears, snaps, or just feels wrong, send a clip and tell me which weapon, skill, camera mode, shader, armor, or addon you were using. Pressing F8 is still the quick way to get back to the default camera if you need it.
