First-Person Model replaces the vanilla first person model with the third person one, immersing you into the game even further.

This mod does not change any animations, is purely visual and fully client-side, and works seamlessly on any server without requiring installation server-side.

Animations that fit the perspective granted by this mod are provided by the dependency mod, Not Enough Animations.

Open your eyes and see what you would actually see.

Revamped First Person

  • Uses the third person model for the first person perspective
  • See your body when you look down
  • See all third person animations

Configurability

  • Toggle between vanilla first person and this implementation using F6
  • Vanilla Hands toggles between vanilla and this implemenation depending on your view angle or what you are holding

Mods that change the player model in a non-vanilla friendly way may be incompatible due to the need to disable rendering of the player head. If you see the inside of your head, you are likely running an incompatible mod.

Does this need to be installed on the server?

No. This is a fully client-side mod and does not need to be installed on the server.

Will I get banned for using this on servers?

No. This mod doesn't touch the player camera, and it's not even configurable here. The camera is at the same position as vanilla, not giving any unfair advantage.
