CONTROLS

While in first person, your cursor is replaced with a white selection reticle in front of you. -Hold [Q] to temporarily unlock the mouse and move it normally, for crafting and inventory management.

-Use the scroll wheel to scroll though inventory slots, and the (E) and (R) keys to use/select inventory items. -[E] will "use" whatever item is in the highlighted inventory slot (eat-food, equip-tools, examine-anything else) -[R] will "select" the item in the highlighted inventory slot, holding it. ---with an item selected, you can then- click on a campfire to cook it, ---click on the ground to drop it, ---click on a chest to store it, ect. ---press R again to place that selected item back into the highlighted inventory slot.

-With ranged weapons equipped, your white circle will switch to a red one, and the range increases the more you tilt your view upwards. -When taking damage, red directional indicators show which direction the damage came from.

A new button "switch camera" button is added to the pause menu, which will switch your view between first-person and regular top-down view. Ctrl-Q will also switch between normal and first-person view.

-IMPORTANT NOTE FOR HOSTS- ------------------------------------------------------ (This mod is client-side, and enables first person view for only yourself for all server types, whether you're joining or hosting.

BUT, if you plan on hosting your own server WITHOUT caves enabled, you'll want to disable "simulate darkness" in the mod settings, otherwise you will be invisible to other players while in first-person. -------------------------------------------------------

MOUSE SENSITIVITY (and other things) CAN BE CHANGED IN THE "CONFIGURE MOD" MENU (And many other options available from the actual menu, including FOV and camera height) - available for the singleplayer version as well!

(Quick-Guide): HOW TO COOK FOOD IN FIRST PERSON: -use the mouse wheel to scroll to the food in your inventory -press [R] to select it -click on a campfire to cook it (keep clicking if you want to cook multiple things) -press [R] again to place it back in your inventory

--MOD RUNNING SLOW?-- For older laptops that might struggle with this mod enabled, try raising the "shading refresh rate" setting in the mod config settings menu. If it's still too slow, disabling "simulate darkness" will speed everything up, but make night look... weird, to say the least.

HOTKEYS: CTRL-Q: Switch between first/third person view TAB: (default) opens controller crafting menu Q: Close any open chests

Thank you to LucaS for providing code for the shader to improve how sprite angles are displayed in first person!

If the mod breaks due to an update, let me know so I can fix it! I'm more likely to see comments on the youtube trailer than on steam.
