GlideMouse – Adaptive Mouse Smoothing

GlideMouse adds optional adaptive mouse smoothing to Minecraft.

Very slow physical mouse movement is not always perfectly consistent. Small hand stops and corrections can be transferred directly to the in-game camera, making slow camera movement appear uneven even when the frame rate and frame time are stable.

GlideMouse smooths these small input variations while preserving responsive control during faster movement.

Features

Adaptive mouse smoothing
Smoother slow camera movement
Reduced visible mouse jitter and micro-stopping
Time-based filtering independent of frame rate
Configurable smoothing strength
Separate adaptive and cinematic modes
Raw Input compatibility
High-DPI and high-polling-rate mouse support
No aim assist
No automatic targeting
No mouse acceleration
No artificial dead zone
Client-side only
Vivecraft-safe behavior

Smoothing modes

Off

Uses Minecraft's original mouse input without modification.

Adaptive

Applies more smoothing to small and slow mouse movements and automatically reduces the filtering during faster turns.

This mode is intended for normal gameplay.

Cinematic

Uses stronger smoothing for recordings, screenshots and slow camera movements.

Cinematic mode may feel less immediate and is not recommended for fast combat.

What GlideMouse does not do

GlideMouse does not:

aim at entities
correct the player's aim
move the camera toward targets
add mouse acceleration
create an aiming advantage
alter attack or interaction behavior

The mod only filters the mouse movement generated by the player.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.2
NeoForge 26.2
Java 25
Client-side installation

GlideMouse does not need to be installed on a dedicated server.

It does not require VoxelLift, DLSS, Vulkan or a specific graphics card.

Recommended starting settings

For normal gameplay:

Mode: Adaptive
Strength: Low or Medium
Minecraft Raw Input: Enabled
Mouse polling rate: 1000 Hz

Higher smoothing values are mainly intended for cinematic camera movement.

Vivecraft and VR

GlideMouse does not smooth or modify VR headset tracking.

When Vivecraft VR is active, headset movement remains direct and unfiltered.

Compatibility

GlideMouse is designed as an independent client-side input mod.

Compatibility may vary when another installed mod also changes:

mouse input
camera rotation
cinematic camera behavior
sensitivity
raw input handling

Avoid enabling multiple mouse-smoothing systems at the same time.

Deutsche Beschreibung

GlideMouse fügt Minecraft eine optionale adaptive Mausglättung hinzu.

Bei sehr langsamen echten Mausbewegungen entstehen häufig kleine Stopps und Korrekturen. Minecraft überträgt diese direkt auf die Kamera, wodurch langsame Bewegungen trotz stabiler Bildrate ungleichmäßig wirken können.

GlideMouse glättet diese kleinen Schwankungen, während schnelle Drehungen möglichst direkt und reaktionsschnell bleiben.

Funktionen

Adaptive Mausglättung
Gleichmäßigere langsame Kamerabewegungen
Reduzierung kleiner sichtbarer Mausstopps
Von der Bildrate unabhängige zeitbasierte Filterung
Einstellbare Glättungsstärke
Adaptiver und filmischer Modus
Raw-Input-Unterstützung
Kein Aim Assist
Keine automatische Zielerfassung
Keine Mausbeschleunigung
Keine künstliche Totzone
Ausschließlich clientseitig
Vivecraft-sicheres Verhalten

GlideMouse bewegt die Kamera niemals automatisch zu Gegnern oder anderen Zielen. Die Mod verarbeitet ausschließlich die vom Spieler erzeugte Mausbewegung.

Die Mod muss nicht auf einem dedizierten Server installiert werden.
