So, I know that you can hit f5/f1 in mineCRAFT to look at your character, but how do you do it in minetest?

You cannot. If you need to do this, you will have to connect two players to the same game.

I don't think you can, at least not easily. The only way I can think of is go on a server an ask someone to take a screenshot, and post it. I wish someone would make a mirror mod

You can make a local server and connect to it with two clients, but it will lag a bit.

Correction: You might be able to make a local server and connect to it with two clients, but it will lag a lot, if it works at all.

could we make a mod for this. all we have to do is have the client load the player entity and then have it move the camera.

This is not possible in a mod (, or at least not without a hack).

Unforunately it's not really possible that way, but you could make a "mirror" by creating an entity and giving it the same model and textures as the player. Of course, I don't think you can actually query the model and texture properties (you can only set them), so you'd have to keep track of them programmatically as they are changed (may not work with mods that switch models and skins around).
