About

Description

Cam Utilities is a client-side Minecraft mod that expands standard camera capabilities. The mod runs entirely on the client and does not require installation on the server.

Features

  1. Dynamic Zoom:
    • Smooth camera FOV zooming with configurable magnification factors (from 1.2x up to 50.0x).
    • Zoom level adjustment via mouse scroll while holding the zoom key.
  2. Camera Detaching (Freecam):
    • Detaches and locks the camera at its current world position, allowing the player to move and interact with the world within the camera's view.
    • Useful for inspecting builds, redstone contraptions, or viewing player actions from fixed vantage points.
  3. Adjustable Third-Person Distance:
    • Alters the camera distance in third-person mode within a 0.5 to 100 block range (vanilla default is 4 blocks).
    • Adjusted using mouse wheel scroll while holding the modifier key.
  4. Custom Perspective Presets:
    • Two customizable camera offsets with individual X, Y, Z translation offsets, pitch/yaw tilt, and distance settings (e.g., over-the-shoulder or cinematic angles).
  5. Cinematic Camera Smoothing:
    • Configurable rotational and translational inertia for smooth camera panning.
  6. In-Game Configuration Screen:
    • A Sodium/Reese's Options inspired UI for adjusting speeds, smoothness curves, zoom limits, and preset offsets without restarting the game.
