Camera Unbound

Feel the catch. Enjoy the journey. Find your perspective.

Make fishing, travel and exploration feel more alive. Camera Unbound brings custom views, responsive movement and a crosshair you can make your own.

What’s new in 0.5.0-beta.28

Camera Unbound now has beta builds for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with Crosshair Studio built in.

• Ender Dragon cinematics. The reveal starts once you’re on the End island and can see the dragon. The finale rises above the island to frame both you and the dragon.
• Redesigned camera menu. Browse camera presets with a live preview, adjust them with the joystick and fine controls, and customize your reticle with a block-target preview.
• More ways to play. Try the Dungeon view with a bow, adaptive fishing framing, the aerial arrival, and the Wither and AFK cameras. Hold C and scroll for cinematic zoom. Press Esc to skip a scene by default.

Get closer to the catch

Follow your bobber from a close shoulder view.
Watch the camera react when a fish bites and pulls.

See your world your way

Switch shoulders and explore panoramic, Dungeon or side-on views.
Save the framing that feels right for you.

Bring the journey to life

Give riding, running and Elytra flight their own sense of movement.
Keep it subtle or turn up your favorite effects.

Make an entrance

Arrive with an aerial approach and return with a cinematic respawn.
Turn either effect on or off to suit your playstyle.

A setup that feels like you

• Your views. Adjust the framing, name your presets and put your favorites in order.
• Your crosshair. Start with a preset or build your own shape, size and color with a live preview.
• Your movement. Choose the effects you want and tune their intensity.

Preview camera changes in your world before keeping them. Your shortcuts can be remapped in Minecraft's Controls menu.

Still growing. Better with you.

Camera Unbound is in public beta, and we're still testing and improving it. Bugs can happen, and other mods that change the camera, aiming, crosshair or animations may sometimes interfere with its features. Compatibility can vary between setups.

Start your next adventure

1. Choose a beta file that matches your Minecraft version and modloader. Place one Camera Unbound JAR in your mods folder.
2. On Fabric, install Fabric API. On Forge or NeoForge, use the matching loader in your profile. Crosshair Studio is included in the beta.28 JAR.
3. Press F7 in game to open the menu and F5 to cycle through views.

Client-side: install it on your game; the server does not need the mod.

Requirements & compatibility

• Fabric requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional.
• Forge and NeoForge use the respective loader in your Minecraft profile. Check the individual file changelog for its minimum loader version.
• Java 21 for Minecraft 1.21.x and Java 25 for 26.x.

Use the file for your exact Minecraft version. Other camera, aiming, crosshair or animation mods may overlap. Follow your server’s rules when using freecam.

More controls & camera effects

Explore more views: free look, freecam and tripod mode. Dungeon views include adjustable aiming and block interaction, with free-cursor controls.

Tune more moments: bow aiming, landings, item use, Ender Pearls, thunder and storms. Adaptive framing, AFK movement and other automatic camera features have separate controls.

Camera effects do not change Minecraft's normal death and inventory rules. Dungeon mode preserves normal block reach and projectile physics.
