A mod that by default makes your character look in the direction your camera is looking. You can pose them to have them look in specific directions using commands or controls.
If other players have the mod installed, you'll also be able to see where they're looking!

Look modes
There are four main look modes used by the mod:
Defaultmakes the character look in line with the cameraPosemakes the character look in the given direction relative to the character's body. If the character moves around, the head will maintain the direction relative to the body.Environmentmakes the character look in the given direction as if they were looking at the environment. If the character moves around, the head will turn to continue facing the direction.Cameramakes the character look in the direction of the camera
Behaviour explanations
- In
DefaultandCameramode, your character will temporarily look forward instead of using the camera's direction if you happen to use freecam or are in a dialogue- Currently, only Homebrewery's freecam mode is supported
- The behaviour of the camera when looking at frontal angles in
Defaultlook mode can be configured using theBackwardLookModeSettingoption:FaceBehindRight- tries to look behind over the right shoulder (current / default behaviour)FaceBehindLeft- tries to look behind over the left shoulderFaceCamera- tries to look at the camera, as ifCameralook mode were usedFaceFront- tries to look forward, as if/observe forwardwere usedNoEffect- doesn't change the behaviour in any way when looking at frontal angles (may act weird during movement!)
- In
PoseandEnvironmentmode, the direction to use is set at the time of sending the command based on the camera direction- For
/observe <direction> [seconds], the direction to use is instead the one you specify in the commmand
- For
- By default, your character's rotation range is restricted. Owl Mode allows full rotations, but this might make it look like the character snapped their neck.
- You can control whenever you can see other people's Owl Mode setting with the
AllowOwlModeForOthersconfiguration option.
- You can control whenever you can see other people's Owl Mode setting with the
- When strafing, if
HoldHeadDirectionAfterStrafingis set, then the character will act as if you used/observe environment [duration]with HoldHeadDirectionAfterStrafingDuration as the duration - While in
Defaultmode, if you setLookAtInteractablesandLookAtNPCDuringDialogue, then your character will look at interactables / NPCs if applicable instead of looking in line with the camera
