This Minecraft tutorial explains how to change the camera angle between first person and third person perspective when you play the game.
Basic FOV Slider Mod for Beta 1.7.3. For anyone who still plays Beta 1.7.3, I've made a simple mod that adds an FOV slider in the options menu from the later versions of the game. The only noticeable difference is that the hand/item model is stretched out. Note: this mod will not work with the new Minecraft launcher.

Btw my normal fov is 50, so nothing should've changed, but then it changed my fov to like 70 or something, but in the Minecraft settings, it still says 50.
When you create a new world in Minecraft, you will start in first person view. However, you can switch to third person mode and see your body in the game, either from the front or from behind.
Views in Minecraft
These are the three different views in Minecraft. Let's explore each of them.
1. First Person View
With the first person view, you see the game from the player's perspective. The only part of the player that you see is the player's right hand or the item the player is holding.
2. Third Person Rear View
Minecraft Default Fov
With the third person rear view, you see the game as if you were standing behind the player. You will see the player's body from the back.
3. Third Person View
With the third person view, you see the game as if you were facing the player. You will see the player's body from the front.
Game Control to Change the View
In Minecraft, you can toggle between these three views (camera angles) using a game control. Here are the game controls to change between views on the Minecraft platforms:

When you press the game control to toggle the view, you will move to the next camera angle. Depending on which view you want, you might have to press the game control more than once.
