StabShot
Turn your sword into a camera without changing any real sword mechanics.
StabShot is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that replaces selected sword visuals with a camera model only on your own screen. Other players still see normal swords, which makes the mod safe to use on regular servers as a purely visual effect.
What it does
- Replaces selected swords with a camera model only for the local player
- Keeps vanilla sword damage, cooldown, reach, and combat behavior intact
- Triggers a configurable flash when you hit a mob or player
- Plays a shutter sound on hit
- Supports Mod Menu and an in-game
