Auto Third Person

Automatically switches your camera to third-person when you mount something or glide with an elytra, then puts it back exactly how you had it.

No more fumbling for F5 every time you hop on a horse just so you can actually see it, and no more forgetting to switch back to first-person afterward.

✨ Features

• Auto-switch on mount — Hop on a horse, boat, minecart, pig, camel, or anything else you can ride, and your camera snaps to third-person-back automatically.
• Auto-switch on elytra — The moment you start gliding, the camera switches too.
• Remembers your view — Whatever perspective you were using before (first-person, third-person front, third-person back) is saved and restored the instant you dismount or land.
• Respects manual changes — Press F5 while riding or flying if you want a different view, and the mod backs off for the rest of that ride — it won't keep fighting you.
• Zero configuration — Install it and forget it. No config file, no keybinds, no screen.
• Fully client-side — Works in singleplayer and on any server, vanilla or modded, with zero server-side installation required.

❓ FAQ

Does this work on servers? Yes — since it's fully client-side, it works on any server (vanilla, modded, whatever), and you don't need to convince the server owner to install anything.

Will it force me into third-person against my will forever? No. If you press F5 to pick a different view while mounted or flying, the mod leaves you alone for the rest of that ride/flight instead of snapping you back every tick.

Does it change my perspective when I'm just walking around? No — it only activates when you're riding a vehicle or actively gliding with an elytra.
