Disable F5

Third-person is free information. Not Another Perspective takes it away.
No F5 peeking, no wall-hugging, no free recon — a client-side hardcore first-person lock for Minecraft. 12 KB, zero dependencies.

🎯 About Not Another Perspective

In PvP, milsim, RP and hardcore minigames, F5 hands out free vision. You look over walls, around corners and through tree lines without ever exposing your hitbox. Most "no F5" mods only unbind the key — the perspective option stays one menu away, and any mod, macro or script can set it anyway.

Not Another Perspective is not another keybind blocker. The perspective change itself is cancelled at the source: F5 does nothing, the setting in the options menu does nothing, and even if another mod moves your camera, the mod pushes it straight back to first person.

It runs entirely on your client — no server plugin, no Fabric API, no libraries, no commands, no background services. Install it for yourself, or ship it in your client pack so everyone on the server plays by the same rule.

✨ Features

Note: the difference from keybind-only mods is not cosmetic. A keybind blocker can be bypassed by anything that calls the perspective setter directly. NAP hooks that exact call, which makes it a real lock rather than a hint.

🖥️ Compatibility

• Fabric: no Fabric API required. Use a current Fabric Loader (0.16.14+ for 1.21.x, 0.20+ for 26.x).
• Forge: the 1.16.5 and 1.20.1 builds are legacy and always on — no config, and the camera snaps back every tick instead of blocking the key. For full options use the Fabric build.
• Download exactly one jar that matches your Minecraft version. Fabric and Forge jars are not interchangeable.

⚙️ Configuration

The config is a plain JSON file: .minecraft/config/notanotherperspective.json.

{
  "enforceInWorld": true,
  "enforceOnWorldJoin": true,
  "notifyOnBlock": true
}

Good to know:

• No file yet? The mod runs with defaults.
• The file is read at game start — restart the game after editing it.
• enforceInWorld is the safety net: it also undoes changes that bypassed the setter, so other mods and scripts cannot leave you in third person.

📥 Installation

⚠️ Important: use the jar built for your exact Minecraft line. One jar per version line is intentional: mixins are mapped per Minecraft version, so a 1.21 jar will not load on 1.20.
