This Minecraft tutorial explains how to change the camera angle between first person and third person perspective when you play the game.
When you create a new world in Minecraft, you will start in first person view. However, you can switch to third person mode and see your body in the game, either from the front or from behind.
Views in Minecraft
These are the three different views in Minecraft. Let's explore each of them.
1. First Person View
With the first person view, you see the game from the player's perspective. The only part of the player that you see is the player's right hand or the item the player is holding.
2. Third Person Rear View

3. Third Person View
With the third person view, you see the game as if you were facing the player. You will see the player's body from the front.

- Same process as above but sometimes you will be prompt to enable 'sv_cheats 1'
- If you are the owner of the server and want to enable 'sv_cheats 1' then just type that in your server console.
- If it is a public server, we would highly recommend you do NOT enable this. If it is a server with just you and some friends, sure why not.
- If it is a public server and you do not want to enable 'sv_cheats 1' then you can download Simple Third Person which will allow you to go into third person by accessing the menu through holding 'C'.
