Could clip through walls, please fix
In reply to MeowingInsanely:
This issue was fixed quite a while back. Please use the latest versions of the mod and if the issue still persists please provide more information. i.e. provide steps to reproduce the clipping. EDIT: Vanilla also has some clipping issues
Hi! FOR [1.14.4 version 1.20]
I think this is a problem on forges part but idk
So i want to make it so that the "shoulder surfing" perspective replaces the "default third person from the back" perspective rather than being just another option and i dont know how to do that.
Any help since i cant configure it from the mod settings in-game
In reply to xdscrapz:
1.14 does not yet support ingame mod configuration. You have to edit the config file manually in ../.minecraft/config/shouldersurfing.toml
In reply to Exopandora:
i did it! thanks!
Is it possible to make the dynamic crosshair in "reverse" so that the crosshair stays in the center of the screen and the head is moving towards it? This will really ease melee combat and much more
In reply to deathcoffi:
No as it would break server compatibility
Will we ever get a port for fabric?
Great work on this mod, I'm running it on 1.12.2 and am quite enjoying ability to go in third person ala Skyrim! The arrow not shooting at my cursor was a little annoying at first but not too bad now that I've gotten used to it. I do have a few questions however,
Is there a way to set customization to toggle the Dynamic-crosshairs only when using or aiming a bow???? would be kind of like shooting from GoldenEye haha and would solve the bow aiming issue
Also is there a way to change third person when on a horse or boat? I think it would be cool to automatically adjust the camera further out when you hop on your horse then default back when you get off.
Also maybe a way to add a zoom or scope like feature that exists in most Third person shooters would be a great addition.
Thanks for working on this mod it really is a simple yet awesome addition!

Q: "Is there a way to set customization to toggle the Dynamic-crosshairs only when using or aiming a bow"
A: Its working like this for ShoulderSurfing-1.17 and later (1.13.2 and later)
Q: "is there a way to change third person when on a horse or boat"
A: Not yet. But it might be a feature for the future
Q: "a way to add a zoom or scope like feature that exists in most Third person shooters"
A: What do you mean exactly ? Do you think of something like the optifine zoom ?
In reply to Exopandora:
Appreciate the quick response!
1. Ah so you did add that feature in later versions, nice. Have you stopped updating for 1.12 completely then?
2. I think that that would be a great feature! Another feature I thought of last night while playing with the mod would be a way to implement the mouse wheel when customizing the camera similar to Skyrim, I bet that would be difficult to implement though.
3. Yes similar. Usually third person shooters that are over the shoulder give you an option to ‘scope in’ which slightly zooms in the player camera and slows mouse sensitivity allowing for a more accurate shot rather than firing from the hip. I think a similar function could greatly benefit combat & building using this mod.
i was playing around with this mod yesterday as well as some other mods and Optifine’s zoom does have a similar effect, but zooms the camera in far too much for my taste.
The Custom Crosshairs mod works really well with this mod as well.
In reply to thedawsonreese:
Q: "Have you stopped updating for 1.12 completely then?"
A: The support section states: "Only the latest game version will be supported and updated with new features". Sometimes i make an exception. But currently its too much effort because the port from 1.12 to 1.13 was essentially a full rewrite so backporting is not that easy
Q: "implement the mouse wheel when customizing the camera similar to Skyrim"
A: I think this will cause a lot of confusion because a player has to enter a mode where they can adjust the camera with the scroll wheel instead of selecting items in the hotbar
Q: "give you an option to ‘scope in’ which slightly zooms in the player camera and slows mouse sensitivity allowing for a more accurate shot rather than firing from the hip"
A: I get the point but there is no way the accuracy will change. It could be an option that you need to turn on. But once activated it slowly zooms in when holding rightclick. EDIT: Technically the bow already does that (at least in 1.14)
In reply to Exopandora:
Aww i see i have yet to even play 1.14 yet so im actually going to boot it up to play around with this mod! Appreciate all your hard work man.
In reply to thedawsonreese:
Auto Third Person
In reply to sovlv:
I tried that one but unfortunately it doesn’t work very well. The idea is solid but it jumps you into the default 3rd person view which I hate, hence the reason for getting shoulder surfing.
If if you could customize the default third persons camera similar to shoulder surfing it would be perfect.
In reply to thedawsonreese:
You can replace the default 3pp with the shoulder surfing perspective to enable that compatibility (its in the config options up to 1.12: "Replace Default Perspective", 1.13+: "replace_default_perspective")
In reply to Exopandora:
Yea but that doesn’t solve anything. I like playing in third person normally, I just wish the camera would zoom out a little when riding a horse or boat.
So, there is a kind of glitch.in 1.15.1 version of the mod (1.12.2) Basically if you use a bow and arrow, the arrow doesn't shoot where the crosshair is, rather, it shoots where the player is. pls fix
In reply to manniv2:
This is a known issue and cannot be fixed. A workaround for this is to use the dynamic crosshair. Newer versions of the mod support "Adaptive"-mode [default] (Crosshair switches to dynamic when aiming) and "Switch to 1PP"-mode (View switches to 1PP while aiming)
In reply to Exopandora:
Ty for the help now i switch into first person while aiming
now i can finally kill that pig
