Orientation
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Orientation is a fork of TheCritic's Critical Orientation mod with a few changes made to suit my needs, updated to modern Minecraft versions.
Pressing backslash (\) will snap your camera angle to a multiple of 45 degrees. Change the keybind in settings if you so wish. There's also another key (j) which can snap to a configurable angle.
The /align command also allows you to align to an arbitrary amount of degrees.
