Freecam+ — Horizon mod
Freecam for Horizon: press U to fly the camera anywhere while your player stands perfectly still.
Freecam+ by idom separates your camera from your body. Press U and you're flying around the world while your character stays put — it doesn't move or turn, so as far as the server can tell, you're just standing there. Builders use this kind of mod to judge a build from outside, screenshot and video makers to get angles without moving their player, and redstone engineers to inspect a contraption from every side.
Features
- U detaches the camera.
- WASD, Space and Shift to fly in any direction.
- Ctrl for a speed boost; mouse wheel to set the speed.
- Through-walls flight and speed in Options > Mods > Freecam.
- Your player doesn't move or turn while you fly.
Compatibility and install
Native mod, version 1.0.1, for Minecraft 26.3, signed by its author. Version 1.0.1 was confirmed working on Nightly 66f3981. Install it on your instance's Mods page in the launcher and press Build in the "Native build of …" row. The first native build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB; after that, builds take a few minutes. The install guide has the full process.
Limitations
It won't run on v0.2.97, which lacks native hooks, and the author only says "likely" for versions above that. The description is brief, so don't expect features beyond those listed. One opinion of ours: flying through walls lets you see things a normal player can't, so check a server's rules before using it somewhere that isn't yours.

How to install
Find the mod in the launcher
Open the Horizon launcher, pick an instance on the left and go to its Mods page. In the Horizon tab, find "Freecam+" and press Install.
Build the mods
In the Native build of … row press Build and confirm you trust these mods. The first build downloads Rust and takes 20–30 minutes and a few GB of disk; later builds take a couple of minutes.

FAQ
What are the Freecam+ controls?
U detaches the camera. Fly with WASD, Space and Shift, hold Ctrl to go faster, and use the mouse wheel to change speed.
Can the camera go through walls?
Yes. Through-walls flight and speed are set in Options > Mods > Freecam.
Which Horizon versions does it work on?
Not on v0.2.97, which has no native hooks. The author says it works on all nightly releases and likely on versions after v0.2.97; 1.0.1 was confirmed on Nightly 66f3981.
How do I install Freecam+?
From the Horizon launcher: Mods page → find "Freecam+" → Install. The launcher checks the SHA-256 and the author's signature for you. A native mod is then compiled with the Build button — the first build takes 20–30 minutes. The full steps are in "How to install" above.
Which Minecraft version does Freecam+ support?
The latest version, 1.0.1, targets Minecraft 26.3 on Horizon.
Can I download Freecam+ from this site?
Yes. Its MIT license allows redistribution, so we host the file, and its SHA-256 matches the official registry.
