About this Mod
Take full command of your camera with freecam, orbit, tripod, cinematic modes, roll, zoom, and more — all in one lightweight Fabric mod.
Features
Freecam
Detach the camera from your character and fly freely through the world. Move with WASD, look with the mouse, and scroll to adjust speed. Press Space to go up, Shift to go down.
Orbit
Press F6 while in third-person (F5) to orbit around your character. Drag the mouse to orbit 360°, scroll to adjust distance (1.5–20 blocks), and zoom in with V.
Tripod Lock (F7)
Freeze the camera in place and take back control of your character. Move around freely while the camera stays locked on the scene. Press F7 again to release. Works in both freecam and orbit.
Cinematic Mode (F8)
Smooth, natural camera transitions. Adjust the smoothing strength in settings.
Roll (Z / C)
Tilt the camera around its viewing axis. The roll increment is configurable from 0.5° to 45°. Mouse movement stays screen-aligned regardless of tilt.
Zoom (V)
Hold V to zoom in. Adjust the zoom factor in settings.
Reset (R)
Freecam: return the camera to its starting position. Orbit: snap back behind the player.

Free Camera server crashes on startup – what to do?

Free Camera officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Free Camera – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Free Camera consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
