FreeCam 🎥

A clean, client-side Minecraft camera mod for free camera movement and a high F6 follow view.

FreeCam lets you detach the camera from your player and inspect your world from a separate perspective. You can fly around within your render distance, move through blocks, look over builds, and return to your original player view when you disable it.

The mod also includes an F6 follow camera that stays high and far behind the player. It is made for players who want a wider overview while still controlling the player normally with keyboard movement.

FreeCam is inspired by the original Freecam mod, but this version has its own feature set and removes unsafe multiplayer interaction features.
