Press F5
Hope this helped
Press f5 to cycle through the different views. As of minecraft 1.0.0 it adds back a 3rd person kind of look where you could see the front of your face. This is nice to see mobs chasing you or just to see what you look like.
Press F5 and you can go from 1st person to 3rd person.
This applies on not just Minecraft 1.6.1, but all versions of Minecraft prior to the update of 3rd person. To get off 3rd person, you must press f5. You may then go into a different angle. Press f5 again and you'll be back to 1st person mode.
f5 goes into 3rd person, f5 again goes into backwards 3rd person, and f5 again goes into 1st person.
Windows: Press F5 Mac: Press fn+F5
Yes. Pressing this once will put you in 3rd person from behind and pressing this again will put you in 3rd person from the front, press again to return to 1st person
Windows: Press F5 to toggle on and off. Mac: Hold function (fn) and press F5
Just press F5, If your on some kind of laptop or something press FN+F5
If you are playing Minecraft Classic, they don't have 3rd person mode. EDIT: Also, if your computer OS is Windows 7, you cant use F5 or any of the other F keys. Hopefully this will be fixed.

After you make a map by using 8 pieces of paper and a compass in the middle, hold it in your hands and look downwards. In order for it to record your world, you must hold it in your hands as you explore.
