How much will this mod affect my FPS?

Expect about half your normal frame rate when wearing the helmet. The world is rendered twice (once for your view, once for the rear display), which is demanding on your GPU.

Will this work on my computer?

It depends on your graphics card. The mod uses an OpenGL extension that not all computers support. If it doesn't work, you'll get a crash on startup or the mod simply won't load.

How do I craft the rear view helmet?

Look at the crafting recipes once you load the mod. The exact recipe varies, so check your inventory or a recipe viewer to see what materials you need.

Does this work with other mods?

Rearview is generally compatible with other mods, but combining it with other heavy rendering mods might tank your FPS even more. Test it in your modpack first.

Is this mod only for Forge?

Yes, this version requires Minecraft Forge. There may be Fabric ports available from other sources, but we only host the Forge version here.

Rearview Mod 1.6.4 | Minecraft Rear View Helmet

What is Rearview Mod?

Rearview lets you craft a special helmet that shows what’s behind you at all times. It’s a live rear-view mirror for your character. Equip it and you get a constant feed of what you’d normally have to turn around to see.

Features

Rear View Display

The helmet displays a real-time mirror of what’s behind you. No lag, no static images. You see exactly what’s happening at your back while looking forward.

Real-Time Rendering

The view updates instantly as you move and turn. It’s a fully functional rear mirror, not some gimmick. Perfect for checking for mobs sneaking up or watching your friend follow you.

Performance Warning

This mod will hit your FPS hard. The world renders twice at once (your normal view plus the rear view), so expect your frame rate to drop roughly in half when wearing the helmet. If you normally get 60 FPS, you’re looking at around 30 FPS with the helmet on.

Also note: the mod uses an OpenGL extension that vanilla Minecraft doesn’t use. It might not work on all computers. Test it before diving deep into a world.
