First Person

Enjoy a smooth first-person view that follows where you look.

Zoom all the way in to enter first person, then scroll back to return to third person. Your body is hidden only from your own first-person view, while items held in either hand remain visible without changing how other players see you.

First Person is not enabled by default, run command /firstperson in the chat to enable it.
