  • A Legitimate Fork of Freecam, allowing you to travel through legimimate blocks, and only when it is specified in configs. This Fork won't let players go through walls or lava, neither won't let players use x-ray and hack features that freecam does have. All ignorable collision (aka travellable blocks) are defined in the configurations toggles:
Name Description Default Value
Ignore Transparent Blocks Allows travelling through transparent blocks in freecam. true
Ignore Openable Blocks Allows travelling through doors/trapdoors/gates in freecam. true
Ignore Non-Culling Blocks Allows travelling through non-culling texture blocks in freecam (hoppers, lecterns, shulkerboxes, mid-air blocks ecc). true
Ignore Water Fluid Allows travelling through water in freecam. true

What are Non-Culling Blocks?

Non-Culling blocks are definied by a function in the code. This function checks whether a block can “cull” (i.e. skip texture rendering) nearby block faces. If it does cull a neighbour face (Piston Head, Solid Block...), it checks if the involved neighbour block can also "cull" the same face (2 Adiacent Solid Blocks, 2 Piston Head front-to-front...), in which case travelling through that block is denied, otherwise it will be allowed (Glass over piston head, mid-air solid block...). If it does not cull every neighbour face (hopper, cauldron...), you can travel through the block.

Why this Fork?

First, regardless of your configs, this Freecam won't let players go through walls or lava. But it does come with more features:

  • You can eventually travel through water with a toggle in the config.
  • Freecam is bounded in player's rendered chunks, avoiding cave x-ray peeks on borders
  • You can travel through transparent blocks, or eventually non-culling blocks on certain conditions (see What are Non-Culling Blocks?).

About

As a fork, it means that before reporting any bug you may firstly check the if the issue is present on Freecam mod. Any issue can be reported on the github of this mod, but you must say if it is also an issue related to Freecam mod.

This mod allows you to control your camera separately from your player. While it is enabled, you can fly around and travel through blocks within your render distance. Disabling it will restore you to your original position. This can be useful for quickly inspecting builds and exploring your world.

This mod works in multiplayer, but may be considered cheating on some servers.
It is your responsibility to check all relevant rules before using this mod.

While Freecam should only affect the client, it may be possible for servers to detect the mod being installed through various exploits in Minecraft,
modding platforms, or this mod.
Here's a real example that exploited translation keys.

To paraphrase our license, we are not responsible for any damages or liability related to Legit Freecam.
Among other things, this means it's not our fault if you get banned from a server.

Translation (Freecam)

You can help translate the original Freecam mod on Crowdin, language changes will be inspired by that work.

If you're unfamiliar with Crowdin, you can read their getting started as a volunteer translator guide.

If you'd like to translate a language, on Freecam mod, they don't currently target, please open there an issue asking them to enable the language.

Their language updates will merge then on this fork.
