First-Person Mode

First-Person Mode is a special game-play mode which was being experimented with by EtiTheSpirit in an attempt to improve immersion with the game.
With the Head Rotation Replication Update released on the 4th of April 2021—which allows players to see where nearby players are looking (PC Only)—this mode has been made public under a hidden chat command. As the name implies, this mode allows players to see the world through the eyes of their creature.
⚠️ Note: the Head Rotation Replication function has been temporarily removed until the rewrite as a measure to mitigate LAG.
==Usage==
* In new servers, press the [F5] key to toggle first person mode. If this doesn't work, try one of the commands below.
* Say /fp in the chat to toggle/leave first person mode.
* When respawning, users may need to use the /refresh chat command, which fixes an issue where the system has clipping parts inside of the camera.
* When toggled, a message will appear in the chat with a message stating that you can press [~], which enables your cursor to move around on your screen while in first-person. [F6] can also be pressed while in this mode which toggles head tilting/rolling which makes it easier to look around.
==Complications==
* Not very compatible with all creatures (The camera sometimes sits in weird places on some creatures and not directly in the head/face, for example Taurolystris.
* Still uses third person camera controls, and so turning your head backwards behaves as it normally would, allowing you to see your own neck.
* The camera often clips through the world when performing actions such as eating or drinking.
