BoatCam
BoatCam is a mod which adds some useful and customizable tweaks to the player camera for a smooth boat racing experience.
This mod has been forked from Bstn1802's BoatCam, as it was no longer being maintained.
Examples of the BoatCam in action
- Makkuusen - Corkscrew Tunnel
- Renokas1 - LightSpeedII if you prefer shorts
Examples of vanilla camera (for comparison)
- Seth the Lasersloth - Tunelrun
- TechnoGustav - SoxxCircuit
Features
The configuration menu can be opened with 'B' by default, or via the ModMenu mod if you have installed.
- Camera yaw is automatically set, depending on your boat's direction and velocity.
- Configurable camera smoothness.
- Automatic perspective change when entering a boat.
- Keybind to look backwards
- Keybind to look left/right
- Configurable fixed pitch
- Bypass vanilla yaw restriction
Dependencies
These mods must be installed in order for this mod to work.

- Velocity mode interpolates based on the boat's velocity.
- Removed the option for snapping the sideways view.
- Fixed an issue where entering/exiting a boat can mess with look behind

This update only add support 1.21.9 and 1.21.10 of Minecraft, and has no new features.
- Add support for 1.21.9; by [BillBodkin](https://modrinth.com/user/BillBodkin)
[0.1.0] BoatCam 0.1.0

- Added setting
Snap Sideways View - This removes smoothness when looking left/right in a boat via keybind. This is so that it is more responsive and acts similarly to the look behind keybind. Default off.
- Rewrote config backend
- BoatCam now requires
YetAnotherConfigLibinstead ofCloth Config. This makes the config menu easier to use and adds support for mods such as FancyMenu - Fixed many issues related to looking backwards and fixed pitch.
BoatCam will likely not be updated for versions lower than 1.21.3 from now on. 1.21.4 is becoming the new standard for ice boat racing, so update your Minecraft!

This version is identical to [Boatcam 0.0.3](https://modrinth.com/mod/boatcam/version/0.0.3), however, this version supports Minecraft 1.21.2 and earlier.
Support for <1.21.3 will probably not last, so I recommend updating to the newer versions of Minecraft.

This update's goal is to remove some of the hassles of installing the mod. Hence, Mod Menu is no longer a required dependency, and some default configuration values have been changed to provide a better boatcam experience out-of-the-box.
If you are updating from any version of Boatcam, the default configuration values may not be applied.
