When you press F5 when playing Minecraft, it cycles through your view of the player. There are three positions. The first and default view is first-person (through the character's eyes; what he sees). Second is third-person (looking down on him from above). The third is second-person (looking at his face)
Press button 'F5' for the other 2 view modes. Press 'F5' to switch views.
You can change your view by pressing F5.
There are 3 ways to view your whole character in Minecraft on the PC:The first way is to simply open your inventory (with "E" as default) and your character will appear next to the armor slots.The second way is to press the "F5" key. This will give you a back view of your character.The third way is to hit the "F5" key again, and your camera view will display the front of your character.Hitting the "F5" key a third time will bring you back to first-person mode.
Press f5 to go to 3'd person, press it again to look at yourself, and press it again to go back to 1'st person. (as of minecraft 1.1 ^.^)
