  • A Legitimate Fork of Freecam, allowing you to travel through legimimate blocks, and only when it is specified in configs. This Fork won't let players go through walls or lava, neither won't let players use x-ray and hack features that freecam does have. All ignorable collision (aka travellable blocks) are defined in the configurations toggles:
Name Description Default Value
Ignore Transparent Blocks Allows travelling through transparent blocks in freecam. true
Ignore Openable Blocks Allows travelling through doors/trapdoors/gates in freecam. true
Ignore Non-Culling Blocks Allows travelling through non-culling texture blocks in freecam (hoppers, lecterns, shulkerboxes, self mid-air blocks ecc). true
Ignore Water Fluid Allows travelling through water in freecam. true

What are Non-Culling Blocks?

A Non-Culling block has been defined as a block which satisfies a condition in the code, which you can find on my Wiki. This function checks whether a block can “cull” (i.e. skip texture rendering) nearby block faces. If it does cull a neighbor face (Piston Head, Solid Block...), it checks if the involved neighbor block can also "cull" the same face (2 Adjacent Solid Blocks, 2 Piston Head front-to-front...), in which case traveling through that block is denied, otherwise it will be allowed (Glass over piston head, mid-air solid block...). If it does not cull every neighbor face (hopper, cauldron...), you can travel through the block.

Why choosing this Fork?

  • Traveling through Lava is not implemented and won't be implemented in any case, as this fork is for Building purposes only.
  • You can eventually travel through water
  • You can use freecam as long as you are in your rendered chunks, avoiding x-ray cave methods with freecam
  • You can travel only "transpent-type" blocks, according to the ignore collision configs

About

As a fork, it means that before reporting any bug you may firstly check the if the issue is present on Freecam mod. Any issue can be reported on the github of this mod, but you must say if it is also an issue related to Freecam mod.

This mod allows you to control your camera separately from your player. While it is enabled, you can fly around and travel through blocks within your render distance. Disabling it will restore you to your original position. This can be useful for quickly inspecting builds and exploring your world.

This mod works in multiplayer, but may be considered cheating on some servers.
It is your responsibility to check all relevant rules before using this mod.
