About AntiF5
From HangarLightweight server-side plugin to block third-person (F5) camera abuse.
OVERVIEW & HOW IT WORKS
AntiF5 is a clean server-side solution for servers that want to reduce camera peeking and keep gameplay fair without requiring client-side mods. If your server depends on fair positioning, limited vision, and cleaner PvP/PvE gameplay, this plugin gives you a practical way to discourage third-person camera usage.
How Does It Work? Instead of trying to detect the F5 key directly, AntiF5 places a massive custom TextDisplay directly above the player's head. Because the display follows the player and is only shown to them, switching to third-person becomes practically unusable.
The default configuration uses a large black overlay, but you can fully customize how it looks!
✨ PLUGIN FEATURES
- Effective Blocking: Blocks useful third-person vision by covering the player's view.
