QuickZoom
by truexiahead
QuickZoom lets players hold a key to magnify the view by a configurable factor, from 2x to 16x, on NeoForge.
What it does
Holding the C key zooms the camera in by a factor set between 2x and 16x. The zoom level and related behavior are adjusted in-game through the Mods QuickZoom Config screen. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on NeoForge, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Hold-to-zoom key
Holding C zooms the view in by a configurable factor between 2x and 16x, and releasing the key returns to normal.
Optional smooth transition
A telescope-style zoom transition can replace the instant change in field of view when the zoom starts and stops.
Optional cinematic camera
An F8 toggle enables a smooth camera effect that eases the movement while zoomed.
