AnimateZoom

by howze

AnimateZoom is a client-side camera mod that adds smooth transition animations when the view zooms in and out.

FabricNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

AnimateZoom changes the perspective zoom so the camera moves through the transition instead of snapping. A zoom out opens the view fluidly, and a sharper, more abrupt jump is available for players who prefer it. Only the client needs the mod, so a player can install it alone on a server that does not run it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Smooth zoom transitions

    The camera eases between zoom levels, so each change of perspective plays as a continuous motion.

  2. Harsher instant jumps

    An alternative mode makes the zoom change in sharp, immediate steps for a more abrupt feel.

  3. Fluid zoom out

    Zooming out opens the camera gradually, keeping the scene readable during the change of perspective.
