Minecraft FOV

[Raphahell]

Hello!

I wanna ask you something

When you go to minecraft options you got there a bar called "FOV"

And by default it is set to "normal"

What is FOV and does that help you to sprint faster?

When i watch youtube videos of survival games i have the impression that the person who records runs faster then i do when i play

Can someone explain me what is that FOV and if it helps you to run faster ?

Thanks

FOV stands for Field OF View. It just extends your field of view and does not help you to sprint faster. When you watch gameplays of people with Quake Pro or higher FOV, their screen tends to move faster and shake more vigorously which looks as if you are sprinting faster than normal people but you don't. I repeat you are just extending your field of view if you increase it and it does not change the way you sprint in the game.

FOV is Field of View.
It doesn't effect your sprinting, it just makes it seem like that. The basic function of it is giving you a wider view. It stretches the camera back so you can see to the sides better.

I use FOV 88. I'm trying to get used to lower settings, I started with quake pro.

People say FOV increases how far you can see in some directions, so that you can see more around you and possibly improve your gameplay in that manner. I find it also improves my PvP and it makes me feel like I'm sprinting faster so I'm happy about that
You don't actually sprint faster, and you don't necessarily PvP better, it's dependent on the person for that and everyone always sprints at the same speed unless they are hacking.

In all honesty, I prefer to play on the lower FOV's due to the fact that if I go to a high one, I can't always tell if I am in reach to hit someone or not. It really messes with my gameplay.

I always play on Quake Pro.
I cannot stand normal though

Played Minecraft in Alpha and Beta so I stick with normal FOV.

Played Minecraft in Alpha and Beta so I stick with normal FOV.

I played back then too, but I play on Quake Pro now.
