FreeCam 🎥
Detach your camera. Your player stays. No freezing, no limits within loaded chunks.
FreeCam gives you a separate camera entity you can fly through your world with — inspect builds, scout areas, get a perfect screenshot angle — while your player stands still and stays visible. Disable it and you're instantly back.
The F6 follow camera locks a high, wide-angle view behind you. Full player control, camera just follows along.
⚠️ Client-side only — no server installation required. The server does not need the mod installed.
