Third-person view



Third person view is a viewpoint from outside of the player in which the camera shows from behind or front of the player.

Activating
It can be activated by pressing or  on some computers and laptops. Pressing it once will display the back of the player in third person view, twice will display their front, and three times will revert back to first person view.

If the player suffocates while in this mode, the camera will switch back to first person view. This does not apply to Pocket Edition.

A third person front view can also be seen while the inventory is open, and the player there will always be facing the cursor.

Display
When in third person view, the player can be viewed at an angle of 0 degrees and from the front of the player at 180 degrees (Y axis) when the mouse is leveled with the ground.

Trivia

 * In Pocket Edition, third person view allows the Player to reach further than in first person.
