Camera

Keybinds

Freecam, Freelook and Zoom. Detach the camera and fly it, glance behind you without turning, or pull in for a precision shot - each with its own key and its own hold-or-toggle.

Versions1.8.9 and 1.21.11

Three cameras in one mod, each with its own key and its own hold-or-toggle:

  • Zoom on C: hold it, scroll to zoom further. Look speed drops while zoomed so aim stays steady.
  • Freelook on G: hold to look around without turning your body. Not on Hypixel, which does not allow it.
  • Freecam on V: fly the camera away while your body stays put. Singleplayer only.

Turning it on

  1. Sour Client menu, Visuals topic (or search for it from All).
  2. Flip the switch on its row. Click the row itself to open its settings beside the list.
  3. It has keys: Freecam Key (V), Freelook Key (G), Zoom Key (C). Change them in this mod's settings or under Settings › Keybinds.

Good to know

OptiFine's own zoom is also on C. If both fire, rebind one: Sour's in this mod, OptiFine's in Minecraft's Controls.
