ArZoom
by Brolen2
ArZoom adds smooth, configurable zooming for Fabric clients, in both first-person and third-person camera modes.
What it does
Zoom in first person narrows the field of view in a scope-like motion. In third person the camera moves back from the character rather than changing the field of view, which gives a wider view around the player. The mod switches between the two behaviors on its own, so the player does not have to pick a mode before zooming.
Zoom speed is adjustable, and the scroll wheel sets the zoom level. Mouse sensitivity scales with the zoom level, which keeps aiming consistent while zoomed in. The hand is hidden while zoomed so the view is not obstructed. Settings such as the first-person zoom field of view and the third-person starting and maximum camera distance live in a config file, and an optional in-game settings screen is available through Mod Menu and Cloth Config.
Key features
Smooth zoom animations
Zooming in and out is animated, and the speed of the animation can be adjusted in the settings.
Automatic camera mode
The mod chooses first-person or third-person zoom behavior based on the current camera mode, so no manual switch is needed.
Scroll wheel zoom
The scroll wheel changes the zoom level, and the zoom level is kept while the player aims.
Mouse sensitivity scaling
Mouse sensitivity is reduced as the zoom increases, so aiming stays steady at higher zoom levels.
Hidden hand while zoomed
The hand is not drawn while zoomed, leaving an unobstructed view of the scene.

Use cases
Scope-like aiming
A player who wants a closer view of distant targets can zoom in first person and keep precise mouse control.
Wider third-person view
A player who prefers the third-person camera can zoom out to see more of the surroundings around the character.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want zoom controls in both camera modes. Since the mod is client-side only, servers do not need it.
