Rearview Mirror Mod
A client-only Fabric mod that adds a rearview mirror.
The mirror allows players to see behind them within a configurable HUD box at all times. No more F5 spamming, no more creepers sneaking up!
Controls
Default keys:
R- toggle mirror HUDO- open the config screen
Inside the config screen:
- Use the Mirror FOV slider to change the rear camera angle
- Drag and resize the mirror as needed
- Edit the framerate of the mirror for performance.
The config is saved to:
.minecraft/config/rearviewmirror.json
Performance
Because this mod works by calling an extra render before the main render for every frame, it adds a constant multiplier on the complexity. I've tried lowering the resolution and animations for the rendered image, however it appears to be capped by the overhead of rendering a frame. As such the only meaningful performance improvement is by adjusting the framerate of the mirror, which you can do in the in-game config screen.
