Examples

"Over Shoulder View" implemented by /camera

• Set yourself to last for 5 seconds, The easing mode is in_out_circ, Rotate minecraft:free (Free View) camera view 90 degrees around the X-axis in 5 grids above the current position:

/camera @s set minecraft:free ease 5 in_out_circ pos ~ ~5 ~ rot 90 0

• Clear All players' camera effect:

/camera @a clear

• Set the camera of 2 seconds fade in, last for 1 second, fade out 3 seconds, and color pure white for random players:

/camera @r fade time 2 1 3 color 255 255 255

• Cooperate with the /execute command, Assign "Over Shoulder View" for nearest players (Need to be executed in repeating command block):

/execute as @p at @s run camera @s set minecraft:free ease 0.25 in_out_quad pos ^-2 ^2 ^-4 facing ^ ^ ^5
