Ever taken a hit in Minecraft and found the screen-shaking so aggressive it throws off your aim mid-combat? BetterHurtCam Mod puts that frustration to rest. Built as a revamped successor to the original NoHurtCam, this Fabric mod gives you full control over hurt camera bobbing — dial the intensity up, tone it down, or disable it entirely through a clean config screen or a quick keybinding. With over 2.1 million downloads on Modrinth since its 2022 release, it's clearly struck a chord with players who want a smoother visual experience without sacrificing gameplay feedback.
Key Features
- Adjustable hurt camera intensity — Fine-tune exactly how much the screen shakes when you take damage, from full vanilla intensity down to zero. No more all-or-nothing choice between default shake and completely disabling it.
- In-game config screen — Change your camera settings without leaving the game or editing config files manually. The integrated screen makes adjustments quick and intuitive.
- Keybinding support — Bind a key to adjust camera bobbing on the fly, which is especially handy when switching between combat-heavy situations and casual exploration.
- Reduced visual disruption — Keep your focus during intense fights, PvP encounters, or mob farms where constant screen shaking can become genuinely distracting.

FAQ
Can I completely disable the hurt camera effect with BetterHurtCam?
Yes. BetterHurtCam lets you set the hurt camera bobbing intensity all the way down to zero, effectively disabling the screen shake entirely when you take damage.
Does BetterHurtCam work with Quilt?
BetterHurtCam supports both Fabric and Quilt mod loaders. Just make sure you also have the required dependencies — Fabric API and Ukulib Mod — installed.
Is BetterHurtCam compatible with other camera mods?
Since BetterHurtCam specifically targets the hurt camera bobbing effect, it should generally coexist with other camera or visual mods. However, conflicts may occur if another mod modifies the same hurt camera behavior.
