Third-person view



Third person view allows the player to view the nearby environment from an "outside" perspective.

Usage
Different perspectives can be toggled by pressing (or  on other keyboards). Pressing it once will display the back of the player, and pressing it again will display their front. Pressing it once more will revert back to first person view.

In Bedrock Edition, that also can be switch in settings, it's only way to switch camera if using touch to play games.

In China Bedrock Edition, that also can be switch in HUD.

When in third person view, the player can be viewed from an angle of 0 degrees (Y axis) when the mouse is leveled with the ground, up to an angle of 90 degrees when looking straight down towards the player.

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

A third person front view can also be seen while the survival inventory is open; the player in this case will always be facing the cursor.

Trivia

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