When I first started using the foal model in the well-known mod Mine Little Pony by Verdana, I felt that there was a critical component that was missing. While it was satisfying to be able to customize the character to my liking, it was too much of an immersion killer to not be able to view the world as said character.
This lead to me making a mod, FillyCam, to make this happen. It worked very well, and I was thinking that perhaps someone else would want it, so I made it public. Shortly after, Verdana announced and released Pony Eye View, which many have fallen in love with; me being one of them. Long story made short, this mod became redundant and Verdana contacted me and implied that we could join forces in order to improve Pony Eye View, which I agreed to.
However, due to various reasons, things has changed these days. Pony Eye View will no longer be part of MineLP due to various issues. However, many people love this feature and the thought of losing it was not something I could bear, especially not since I knew how to construct a mod to get it back. Since I had access to the clever method Verdana had utilized, as well as a custom algorithm I made to work specifically with that method, I was able to construct this mod in a way that has a minimal impact on the game itself, so that it would be compatible with many, many mods.
As for this mod itself, it's a very simple mod which allows the user a few basic controls over the camera, such as height from the ground and distance to the player in 3rd person mode. More options might become available as time moves on and new updates rolls out.
But now, for the one thing people probably are looking for, if they want this mod:
Download links:
Newest version:
FillyCam 3.1.0 (Minecraft 1.9 Forge)
FillyCam 3.1.0 (Minecraft 1.8.9 Forge)
FillyCam 3.1.0 (Minecraft 1.8.9 LiteLoader) (Thanks to JoyJoy for porting to LiteLoader and updating!)
I might have derped something up, but I'll fix it quickly if I did!
All you need to to is to drop this file into your "mods" folder (Under appdata/roaming/.minecraft), in the same place you have your MineLP mod file. You will need Forge or LiteLoader to run this mod; the mod was built against Forge 1863, but I believe that any Forge for 1.9 will work.
Older downloads, if you for some reason want to go back in time:
How to use this mod:
To change things in the mod itself, just hit "F8" or whatever key you bind the settings to (From Minecraft's option screen), and the mod config GUI will pop up. The settings themselves should be fairly self-explanatory, but here they are anyway:
- The "Camera Height" setting determines how far from the feet the camera will be.
- The "Camera Distance" setting determines how far from the character the camera will be in 3rd-person view.
The various presets allows you to quickly set the settings to a commonly used size.

Images:
Since some people go with the "no pic, no click" philosophy, I'll drop some images here to show some of the features.
Known issues:
- Dropped items won't spawn at eye level. It's likely this can't be fixed on the client side
- Bucket, bow, throwables etc. don't behave in an expected way when the view height is different from the default
- Running through grass in third-person mode while having a low camera is annoying
- The preset values are slightly off (A few centimeters) from what they should be
