About this Mod
My first ever minecraft mod that does 1 thingy~
Switch to third-person while drawing a bow.
Becuase when using First-person Model or Real Camera with Better Combat and Too Many Bows, drawing a bow the first person model will block the whole view, so I made this mod to avoid using bow in first person.
I know I can disable first person model render when holding an item but I also like how it looks when my character is holding a bow :P
Best use with Shoulder Surfing Reloaded.
