Freelook Mod
Allows you to rotate your camera freely around your character!
Features
- Multiple Camera Perspectives
- Customizable Activation Style
- Camera Cycle Integration

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
- When a player joins, the client sends a
freelook:handshakepacket. - If the server wants to disable freelook, it responds with a
freelook:disablepacket. - Then the player cannot use freelook for that session.
