This is a pretty simple idea but it's something that I've always though that would improve the 3rd Person View quite a bit.

Most of the times while in 3rd Person it gets a bit hard to see what you're aiming at, specially digging (would be great for Spleef);
The idea is to have an option in the Menu that allows the players to move their camera's position from left to right, within a limit, using a slide bar.
This way, the players could still see what's on their sides and now what's right in front of them.

From this...

...to something like this

Like I said, it's pretty simple, and probably has been suggested before, but I'd really like to see this happening, I love playing in 3rd Person in most games, but in Minecraft it really annoys me cause the aim is just way too centered...

lol don't cry, Mojang most probably won't do this, but I've been seeing a lot of 3D enhancements to the game lately, I'm sure someone will eventually work on joints
