Server Opt-Opt

Some servers may consider freelook a competitive advantage. As of 2.0.0, Freelook includes a simple opt‑out protocol.

How it works

1. When a player joins, the client sends a freelook:handshake packet.
2. If the server wants to disable freelook, it responds with a freelook:disable packet.
3. Then the player cannot use freelook for that session.

public class Example implements ModInitializer { @Override public void onInitialize() { PayloadTypeRegistry.clientboundPlay().register(DisableModPayload.TYPE, DisableModPayload.CODEC); PayloadTypeRegistry.serverboundPlay().register(HandshakePayload.TYPE, HandshakePayload.CODEC); ServerPlayNetworking.registerGlobalReceiver(HandshakePayload.TYPE, (payload, ctx) -> ServerPlayNetworking.send(ctx.player(), new DisableModPayload()) ); } public record DisableModPayload() implements CustomPacketPayload { public static final Type<DisableModPayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:disable")); public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, DisableModPayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new DisableModPayload()); @Override public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() { return TYPE; } } public record HandshakePayload() implements CustomPacketPayload { public static final Type<HandshakePayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:handshake")); public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, HandshakePayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new HandshakePayload()); @Override public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() { return TYPE; } } }
