How To Get Into Minecraft’s Third Person Mode:
Minecraft is among the most famous games. You can build things, try to stay alive, and travel around a huge open world. You can make Minecraft more fun by using the first-person, third-person front, or third-person back camera modes.
If you’re looking to capture an image or record something, third-person mode is a great choice. This guide will show you how to turn on third-person mode for all versions and platforms of Minecraft.
In Minecraft, you might run into a situation in which the first-person view isn’t what you want. Or maybe you pressed a random key on your keyboard by accident and can’t get out of the strange situation you’re in now.
Views In Minecraft:
Here are Minecraft’s three different views. Let’s look into each one.
| View Name | Description |
| First Person | With the first person view, you see the game from the player’s perspective. The only part of the player that you see is the player’s right hand or the item the player is holding. |
| Third Person Rear | With the third person rear view, you see the game as if you were standing behind the player. You will see the player’s body from the back. |
| Third Person View | With the third person view, you see the game as if you were facing the player. You will see the player’s body from the front. |
To Change The View, You Can:
| Platform | Game Control to Toggle View |
| PC/Mac | Press F5 key |
| Pocket Edition (PE) | Pause game, go to Settings, select Video button and change “Camera Perspective” setting |
| PS3 | Press down on Left Stick (LS) |
| PS4 | Press down on Left Stick (LS) |
| Xbox 360 | Press down on Left Stick (LS) |
| Xbox One | Press down on Left Stick (LS) |
| Windows 10 Edition | Press F5 key |

| Nintendo Switch | Press down on Left Joycon Stick |
| Education Edition (EDU) | Press F5 key |
How To Turn On Third Person Mode:
To change to third-person mode, press the key that does that on your platform. For the PC Bedrock & Java versions of the game, you may press the F5 key to switch the camera to third-person mode.
Just on rest of the platforms, you can change the mode of the camera by following these steps.
| Platform | How To Change View |
| Xbox | Press the up button on your DPad. If that doesn’t work, navigate to the controls settings and check for the button that is set to change the camera perspective. |
| PlayStation | You must either press the LS (left stick) button or up or down on DPad. Like Xbox, if that does not work, check the controls settings for the dedicated camera change button. |
| Nintendo | You can try pressing up on the DPad or pressing the LS (left stick) button. If that doesn’t work, try checking for the button in the settings. |
| Mobile | Phone users need to pause the game and go to the settings, where at the top is the option to change the camera perspective. |
