Camera Snapper
Instantly snap your camera to a predefined view — perfect for cinematic shots, screenshot setups, builds you want to check from the exact same angle every time, or just quickly glancing at a fixed spot without fiddling with your mouse.
Features
- Two switchable presets — save two different yaw/pitch camera directions and flip between them whenever you like.
- One-key snap — press a single key to instantly turn your camera to whichever preset is currently active.
- On-screen confirmation — switching presets briefly shows which one is now active, so you always know what you'll snap to.
- Built-in settings screen — no commands or config file editing required. Type in exact yaw/pitch values, or just look where you want and click Use Current View to capture it instantly.
- Fully rebindable controls — every key works through the standard Controls menu like any vanilla keybind.
- Persistent presets — your two presets are saved automatically and survive between sessions.
- ModMenu support — if you have ModMenu installed, Camera Snapper shows up in your mod list with a config button, no extra setup needed. It works perfectly fine without ModMenu too.
- Lightweight — client-side only, no mixins, no server requirement, no gameplay changes.
Controls
| Action | Default Key |
|---|---|
| Snap camera to active preset | V |
| Switch active preset (1 ↔ 2) | B |
| Open settings screen | N |
All keybinds can be changed in Options > Controls > Key Binds > Camera Snap.
You can also open the settings screen with the /camerasnap chat command if you'd rather not use a keybind.
How it works
- Open the settings screen (
Nby default, or/camerasnap). - Set up Preset 1 and Preset 2 — either type the yaw/pitch values directly, or look in the direction you want and click Use Current View.
- Click Save.
- In-game, press
Bto choose which preset is active (you'll see a short on-screen notice confirming the switch). - Press
Vany time to snap your view to that preset.
Notes
- This is a client-side mod — install it just on your own client, no server-side installation needed.
- Snapping your view is a genuine rotation change (not a purely visual trick), so it behaves exactly like moving your mouse to look in a direction — servers see the same rotation update they normally would.
- Config is stored in
config/camerasnap.jsonand persists across game sessions.
