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

  1. Open the settings screen (N by default, or /camerasnap).
  2. 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.
  3. Click Save.
  4. In-game, press B to choose which preset is active (you'll see a short on-screen notice confirming the switch).
  5. Press V any 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.json and persists across game sessions.
