About this Mod

bg

Aquarius Libs needs to be installed for this mod to work!

This client-side mod allows you to look around freely with your mouse on the death screen while holding alt and removes the red background overlay by default.


What it does

Automatic Rotation: The camera slowly rotates around your body automatically instead of staying frozen in place

Hold Alt to Look Around (Free Look): Holding the Left Alt key pauses the automatic rotation, allowing you to manually look around using your mouse. This action also completely hides all menu buttons for an unblocked view.

Dynamic Zoom Controls: You can scroll your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. To keep your viewing angles steady, the camera's rotation speed slows down automatically the further you zoom in.

No Disappearing Mobs: Nearby monsters and creatures stay visible on your screen instead of vanishing. They won't move around though.

Removed Red Background: The standard reddish death screen overlay is totally gone, giving you a normal, clear view of the world.

Config option: red background visibility, hide entities after death, auto rotate speed, mouse free-look speed, zoom smoothness.
