iammojogo's Zoom mod
by iammojogo
iammojogo's Zoom mod is a Forge client mod that lets players zoom the view out while holding a key, with no change to the game world.
What it does
Zoom works in first and third person view. Holding the left control key and scrolling the mouse wheel changes the zoom level, and a separate keybinding triggers a zoom out point. Only the client needs the mod, so the server does not have to run it for the zoom to work on a player's screen.
The mod targets Forge for 1.21.11 only, and its single file dates from 2026-03-05. It is released under the MIT License, which allows free use, modification and redistribution, though the project is not open source. The author describes it as lightweight, and the mod is listed in the Adventure category alongside Game mechanics and Utility.
Key features
Zoom out point
A zoom out point can be set and reached with a dedicated keybinding, so the view jumps to a wider framing without repeated scrolling.
Hold-to-zoom scrolling
Holding the left control key while scrolling the mouse wheel changes the zoom distance in steps.
First and third person support
The zoom function works in first person and in third person view, so the same control applies in both camera modes.
Light footprint
The author notes a lightweight design with a small performance impact on the client.

Use cases
Scouting terrain
Players who build or explore large areas can pull the camera back to check layouts without leaving their position.
Screenshots and recordings
A wider framing helps when capturing a scene for a screenshot or a video clip.
Who it’s for: Players on Forge 1.21.11 who want a zoom control on their own client. Server owners do not need to install it, although the author notes that installing it on both sides gives full functionality.
How it compares
A Simple Zoom is also a Forge client mod with an MIT License and is open source, but it is built for 1.20.1. EzZoom targets 1.16.4 – 1.16.5 under All rights reserved, and Zoom Control covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, neither open source. Zoooom is client-side only with an MIT License across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, and TrueSpyglass runs on client and server for 1.20.1 under an MIT License.
