Follow System

Freecam Classic uses a player-bound camera behavior.

This means the camera remains dynamically linked to the player while Freecam is active.

How It Behaves​

When Freecam is enabled:

  • The camera maintains a stable spatial relationship with the player.
  • If the player moves, the camera moves with them.
  • The camera does not detach or drift into the world.
  • Position consistency is preserved at all times.

This ensures that Freecam remains predictable and controlled.

Why This Design Exists​

Classic edition is designed to be:

  • Lightweight
  • Reliable
  • Safe for administrative and moderation use
  • Easy to integrate into structured servers

A fully detached free-floating camera could create positional instability or unintended behavior.
The follow system prevents that by maintaining positional alignment with the player entity.

Movement Within Limits​

Although the camera follows the player, it still allows controlled repositioning within configured limits.

The system ensures:

  • Maximum distance restrictions are respected
  • Movement remains consistent
  • Camera control stays responsive

Design Philosophy​

The Follow System prioritizes:

  • Stability
  • Control
  • Safety
  • Predictable behavior

It is intentionally always active in Classic edition and cannot be disabled through configuration.
