The Third Person Camera mod by spacechase0, adds a whole bunch of new features to the third person view in minecraft. You can zoom in and out, tilt the camera, all sorts. It’s something that will be great for minecraft machinima artists. I can see some pretty good videos coming out with this in the future.
The Third Person Camera mod can be fairly difficult to use. You use the numpad on the right side of your keyboard; so it might not be a very practical mod for laptop users. Use the + and – to zoom in and out. Use 8, 4, 6 and 2 (the arrow keys on the numpad) to tilt the camera. It can get pretty awkward, but you’ll get the hang of it. Use 5 to reset the camera back to default.
Using all these settings, can give you some pretty awesome views. Zooming out and tilting the camera can drastically change what minecraft looks like. I, myself am very excited to see what kind of machinima videos come out using the Third Person Camera mod in the future. This is something I’ve hoped would be in the vanilla minecraft game for a while now. Unfortunately there are a few glitches when using optifine with this mod. I found that water will be invisible if you’re using optifine, which is a bit of a set back.
