About this Mod
(Yes I am aware of the mod Do a Barrel Roll, but this mod was made to be extremely light weight, if you want more features download Do a Barrel Roll)
The current elytra flying experience isn't that great in my opinion, so here is a more immersive experience!
Your camera will roll with your player when you fly, creating a more realistic and cool effect!
To customize the limit of how far the camera can roll, please do:
/elytracam setanglelimit <limit 0-180>
I recommend anywhere between 80-150, but it's my preference (default is 150).
to disable it entirely just do
/elytracam setanglelimit 0
As of version 0.2 ONLY client side is required! Have fun in servers! (Just make sure there aren't any rules against mods like this)
This mod requires to be client side and server side(for the commands as of version 0.1, I'll fix it later to only be client side).
If you find any bugs please let me know,
you can join my discord server and ping me (@GuyWithGreenScreen)

ElytraCam server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with ElytraCam – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if ElytraCam consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
