Where it goes
Is Freelook (Perspective Mod) required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Freelook (Perspective Mod) 2.3.3+mc1.8.9 need?
2.3.3+mc1.8.9 on 1.8.9. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install OneConfig, Fabric Language Kotlin, Ornithe Standard Libraries, Compose Multiplatform first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match. 3 come through another mod in the chain.
3 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

Server Opt-Opt
Some servers may consider freelook a competitive advantage. As of 2.0.0, Freelook includes a simple opt‑out protocol.
How it works
- When a player joins, the client sends a
freelook:handshakepacket. - If the server wants to disable freelook, it responds with a
freelook:disablepacket. - Then the player cannot use freelook for that session.

public class Example implements ModInitializer {
@Override
public void onInitialize() {
PayloadTypeRegistry.clientboundPlay().register(DisableModPayload.TYPE, DisableModPayload.CODEC);
PayloadTypeRegistry.serverboundPlay().register(HandshakePayload.TYPE, HandshakePayload.CODEC);
ServerPlayNetworking.registerGlobalReceiver(HandshakePayload.TYPE,
(payload, ctx) -> ServerPlayNetworking.send(ctx.player(), new DisableModPayload())
);
}
public record DisableModPayload() implements CustomPacketPayload {
public static final Type<DisableModPayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:disable"));
public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, DisableModPayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new DisableModPayload());
@Override
public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() {
return TYPE;
}
}
public record HandshakePayload() implements CustomPacketPayload {
public static final Type<HandshakePayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:handshake"));
public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, HandshakePayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new HandshakePayload());
@Override
public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() {
