General

Controls

• Added camera controls.
  • These were accidentally added. Jeb noted them as "deadmau5 camera" controls and would likely be removed again in an upcoming snapshot.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
  • Pressing Template:Key causes the player to get "stuck" to the camera until F6 is pressed again. This allows players to appear to phase into blocks.
  • Pressing Template:Key causes the camera to freeze in its position, allowing to see the player model rotating in third person view.
  • Pressing Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key, Template:Key and Template:Key change the camera positioning in a variety of ways. While pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time the camera may be reset (example: Template:Key + Template:Key reverts that view back to normal, but Template:Key + Template:Key does not).
