Server Opt-Opt
Some servers may consider freelook a competitive advantage. As of 2.0.0, Freelook includes a simple opt‑out protocol.
How it works
1. When a player joins, the client sends a `freelook:handshake` packet. 2. If the server wants to disable freelook, it responds with a `freelook:disable` packet. 3. Then the player cannot use freelook for that session.

```java public class Example implements ModInitializer { @Override public void onInitialize() { PayloadTypeRegistry.clientboundPlay().register(DisableModPayload.TYPE, DisableModPayload.CODEC); PayloadTypeRegistry.serverboundPlay().register(HandshakePayload.TYPE, HandshakePayload.CODEC);
ServerPlayNetworking.registerGlobalReceiver(HandshakePayload.TYPE, (payload, ctx) -> ServerPlayNetworking.send(ctx.player(), new DisableModPayload()) ); }
public record DisableModPayload() implements CustomPacketPayload { public static final Type<DisableModPayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:disable")); public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, DisableModPayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new DisableModPayload());
@Override public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() { return TYPE; } }
public record HandshakePayload() implements CustomPacketPayload { public static final Type<HandshakePayload> TYPE = new Type<>(Identifier.parse("freelook:handshake")); public static final StreamCodec<RegistryFriendlyByteBuf, HandshakePayload> CODEC = StreamCodec.unit(new HandshakePayload());
@Override public Type<? extends CustomPacketPayload> type() { return TYPE; } } } ```
