About this Mod

Aquarius Libs needs to be installed for this mod to work!
This client-side mod allows you to look around freely with your mouse or move while your inventory screen is open and removes the transparent background overlay by default.
What it does
Hold Ctrl to Look Around (Free Look): allowing you to look around using your mouse while you press the Free Look keybind(can be changed) and a container or chat window is open (crafting table, inventory, chest, chat, book, etc)
Free Move: allowing you to move around while your inventory screen is open and while pressing the free move keybind or if permanent free move is enabled in the config (it is enabled by default)
Transparent Background Removed: The transparent black background overlay is totally gone, giving you a normal, clear view of the world. (You can disable it in the config)
Config Option: transparent background visibility, permanent free move, can use shift/sneak, can move in mount inventory (mule etc)
Anti-cheats have a problem with players moving around while the boat inventory is open so that is NOT included in the mod,
but the mount inventory is less of a problem so that can be enabled in the configs (CAMERA ROTATION CAN BE STILL USED IN ANY OF THOSE)

Watch Me Run 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Watch Me Run 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 Watch Me Run – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Watch Me Run 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.
