Features

• Bind the camera to a specific part of the body.
• Customize the position and rotation of the camera.
• Render player model in first-person perspective.
• Use 「F6」 to toggle the feature on or off and other hotkeys to adjust the camera.
• Configure these features in the Config Screen (Cloth Config required) and the Model View Screen (0.6+).

Configuration (0.6+)

• Theoretically, most mod models are supported, but need to be configured manually:
• First, set the key binding for Open Model View Screen.
  • 
• Open the model view screen and left click with left Alt held to select the corresponding face of the model, scroll with left Alt held to switch between the different layers of the model.
• By clicking the Selecting button on the left, switch between the three to select the Forward Vector, Upward Vector, and Target Plane.
• From the top right button, enter the Preview section, where you can see the relative relationship between the camera and the model and make certain adjustments (you can also adjust through key bindings).
  • 
• Enter a name and save.
• If you have difficulty configuring the settings, you can also enable Mod Settings > Binding Mode > Legacy Binding Mode
  Note: This setting is exclusive to vanilla Minecraft.

Tips

• Configs can have their priority adjusted - higher priority configs appear higher in the right-side list
• In the mod settings, you can manually switch between available configurations by modifying the configuration index. You can also set it to a non-zero value to lock the active configuration
• When the main feature is enabled, hover over the configuration entries. The one annotated with Current Config is the configuration currently in use
• Disable depth in Preview section to hide models blocking the view
• About Disable section:
  • When texture ID field is empty, use 「Left Alt + Left Click」 to select a texture
  • Selection modes:
    • Single & Multiple selection: Press 「Left Alt + Left Click」 to select the faces to disable
    • Range selection: Press 「Left Alt + Left Click」 to confirm the selection area, and use 「Alt + Scroll Wheel」 to adjust the size of the selection area
  • In the left texture view of the player rendering area:
    • Press 「Left Click」 to start/end drag selection, press any other key to cancel the selection
    • Faces selected via drag selection have the same effect as faces disabled via Multiple selection
    • Notably, disabling faces this way is generally more performance-efficient than other methods
  • Disable modes:
    • In part mode, selected faces will not be rendered (you can preview the effect by toggling off the visibility of the disable configuration on the right pane)
    • In All mode, entire texture's model won't render (blue box containing the texture in left panel indicates this)
  • 

Dependencies

• Fabric:
  • Fabric API
• Both:
  • (Optional but recommended) Cloth Config API

FAQ

• A part of the model (e.g. hair) is always in the way, how to make it invisible?
  • Increasing this value may help, or use Disable section
    
• What key to press can open Model View Screen?
  • Set the key binding by yourself
• Why can't i open the Config Screen?
  • Please downlowd Cloth Config API
• Why does it show binding failed when use YSM models?
  • Snapshot 0.6.15 "try" to fix problems, but it didn't fully fix completely
  • When your model rotates to a specific angle, the position you bound may disappear due to YSM's face culling feature, resulting in binding failure
  • You can alleviate this problem by increasing the Bind Result Retention Frames
• Why does the disabled texture appear when i downloaded Better Combat and attack?
  • Open settings of Better Combat and change Auto to False in First person player animation

• Model Mod Compatibility Requirements with Real Camera (Based on Official Mappings)：

• Vertex Data Acquisition

  • Real Camera obtains vertex data by overriding the MultiBufferSource multiBufferSource parameter of the public method EntityRenderDispatcher.render
  • The call timing is before the Camera.setup phase in the GameRenderer.renderLevel method
  • Therefore, the mod needs to meet the following technical conditions:
    • Use only the provided multiBufferSource parameter when rendering Minecraft.getCameraEntity, and avoid alternative approaches for obtaining or creating MultiBufferSource instances
    • The overall rendering behavior remains unaffected when rendering the player model at the adjusted timing
    • Ensure all vertex data ultimately passes through VertexConsumer gotten by MultiBufferSource.getBuffer

• Render Times Compatibility

  • Real Camera renders Minecraft.getCameraEntity by calling the public method EntityRenderDispatcher.render
  • This is the second call to the EntityRenderDispatcher.render method in a frame (the first call is to solve the camera parameters).
  • Therefore, the mod needs to meet the condition that the overall rendering behavior remains unaffected when rendering the player model multiple times in the same frame
