Core features of (Legacy) OrthoCamera
- A client-side Minecraft Fabric mod that adds a toggleable & configurable orthographic camera mode.
- The orthographic camera keeps everything the same scale regardless of distance.
- Highly configurable: includes a config screen (via ModMenu or hotkey) to customize various features such as scale, hotkeys, etc.
Changes
Legacy OrthoCamera implements a few notable changes:
- Through the config screen, you can now show/hide the cursor while in orthocam. This only hides the cursor in ortho, not first or third person.
- Since the clouds obfuscate a lot in earlier versions, there is a setting to disable clouds in ortho. This only hides the clouds in ortho, not first or third person.
