Freelook For Clients

A client-side mod for Quilt and Fabric that adds a freelook keybind, allowing you to observe your surroundings without turning your character.

This is NOT a freecam mod! Freecam lets you detach your camera from your player and move it around as though you were in spectator mode, whereas freelook only serves to decouple the direction you're looking from the direction you're aiming.
