About this Mod

This is a client side mod that adds some commands to change how the physics works for when you are in spectator mode.

/heli_cam - Toggles the custom physics (only works when in spectator mode)

/heli_cam_plane_toggle - Toggles between helicopter and plane modes

/heli_cam_stabilise_toggle - Toggles if the mod tries to keep you upright, ideal for plane mode with mouse control

/heli_cam_upright_on_ground_toggle - Toggles if the mod forces you to be upright on ground collision

The mod adds 2 extra keybinds for the yaw of the aircraft, by default these are Q and R but as they conflict with drop and inventory, you may want to either rebind those or the vanilla ones.

W and S controls the pitch, A and D controls the roll input.

The mouse can also be used as an input.

Holding Jump and Crouch will adjust the throttle (displayed in the top left).

You can also toggle on the Cinimatic camera (a keybind you can set in vanilla)

Frequently Asked Questions

Heli Cam server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Heli Cam compatible with fabric?

Heli Cam officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Heli Cam – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Heli Cam consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
