About this Mod

FOVU - FoV Unbound!

Features

Increases the minimum and maximum values of the vanilla Field of View slider,
allowing any FoV from 1 all the way to 170!

FOVU also sets limits on the minimum and maximum Field of View after any game
modifiers—like bows, speed potions, or sprinting—are applied. This prevents
the FoV from becoming too low (which makes the screen turn white) or too high
(which could flip the camera upside down).

FAQ

Q: Where are the settings?

A: FOVU only modifies the vanilla FoV slider and does not add any
additional settings of its own.

Q: Why the 170 FoV cap? Isn't 179 the maximum FoV before the camera
flips?

A: It is correct that 179 is the absolute maximum before the camera flips
upside down. However, an FoV in the range [171, 189] can allow players to easily
see through walls, floors, and ceilings, which may be considered cheating on
some servers, thus, the 170 FoV cap.

Q: Where do I install this mod?

A: FOVU is a client-side-only mod and will do nothing if installed on the
server.

Q: May I use this mod in my modpack?

A: Absolutely! You may freely use an unmodified version of this mod in any
modpacks/videos/etc without contacting me for approval. I would greatly
appreciate a link back to this Modrinth page if you do use my mod!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does FOVU - FOV Unbound! need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks FOVU - FOV Unbound! as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does FOVU - FOV Unbound! require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

FOVU - FOV Unbound! is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
