📸 SelfieCam

Three camera rigs, one key. Made for clips.

Filming Minecraft for TikTok, Shorts or a montage? Vanilla gives you first person and "somewhere behind me". SelfieCam gives you a phone-on-a-stick selfie view, a wide-angle over-the-shoulder action cam and a slow cinematic orbit – all adjustable while you play, with the camera gliding smoothly between positions and never clipping through walls.

🎥 Modes (press V to cycle)

🎮 Controls

Rebindable in Options → Controls → SelfieCam.

Hold a key to keep adjusting; the current values show on the action bar and are saved to config/selfiecam.json.

💡 Tips for creators

• Cinematic b-roll: Orbit → H → record. Tune pitch with ↑/↓ and speed with ←/→ until it feels right.
• Reaction shots: Selfie shows your face and whatever is behind you – perfect for "look what I found" clips.
• Action: GoPro keeps your character in the frame during parkour, elytra and combat; nudge it over either shoulder with ←/→.
• Skins & emotes: Selfie mode is the easiest way to show off a skin or an emote mod.

⚙️ Config (config/selfiecam.json)

Everything the keys change plus a few extras: selfieTilt (how much the selfie looks down at you), goproFovAdd, orbitTargetY (aim at chest vs. eyes), hideHudInModes, smoothCamera, showMessages.

🧩 Compatibility

• Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, Fabric Loader 0.16+, Fabric API required
• Client-side only – works on any server
• Uses the vanilla camera collision, so the camera never ends up inside a wall
• F5 keeps working; if you cycle into first person, press V again to bring the body back
• Other mods that replace the third-person camera (shoulder-surfing style) may fight over the position – keep one of them off while filming

❓ FAQ

Does it record video? No – it positions the camera. Use OBS, ShadowPlay or your usual recorder.

Can other players see it? No, it is purely client-side.

Can I set the camera to look at something else? Not yet – the rigs are anchored to you. Say what you need in the issues.
