What the mod does
NoHurtCam+ gives you direct control over the hurt camera effect. When you take damage, the game normally shakes the view to simulate impact. With this mod, a configurable keybind lets you turn that shake on or off at any time. The toggle works instantly, so you can keep the screen steady during tense moments or re-enable it for the classic feel.
Who might want it
If you play on a high-refresh monitor, use a VR headset, or simply find the screen shake distracting, this mod removes that visual disturbance without affecting any other gameplay mechanics. It’s also handy for streamers who want a smoother visual experience for viewers. Because it only changes a client-side visual cue, it doesn’t interfere with server rules or other players.
Compatibility details
The mod runs on the Fabric loader and requires no server component. But it is listed as client-side only, so you can add it to a single-player world or a Fabric-based server without needing any server-side installation. Officially supported Minecraft versions are 1.20.2, 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.4, 1.19.3, 1.19.2, 1.19.1, and 1.19. If you are on a version outside this list, the mod’s behavior is undefined.
How it works under the hood
The repository notes that the mod disables the damage screen shake. It does this by intercepting the hurt camera trigger and suppressing the shake animation when the toggle is set to off. When the toggle is on, the game behaves exactly as vanilla Minecraft does.
Recent updates
The latest repository release, version 2.4.1, adds minor code refactoring and updates the mod for Minecraft 1.20.2. Look, this ensures the toggle continues to function on the newest supported version.
Getting started
Install the mod through your preferred Fabric mod manager. Once loaded, open the controls menu to assign a keybind for the hurt camera toggle. Press the key during gameplay to switch the effect on or off. No additional configuration is required.
Limitations
Because the mod only affects the client view, it does not change any server-side damage calculations or other visual effects. But it also doesn't provide any options to adjust the intensity of the shake; it is a simple on/off switch.
Bottom line
NoHurtCam+ offers a straightforward way to eliminate the hurt camera shake when you need a steady view, while keeping the option to re-enable it for the classic Minecraft feel. Its narrow focus, Fabric-only support, and clear version list make it a low-maintenance addition for anyone who finds the default effect disruptive.
