Simple Zoom
Simple Zoom lets players zoom the view in and out, in the way OptiFine's zoom key does, on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Holding the zoom key narrows the field of view so distant blocks and entities become easier to see, and scrolling the mouse wheel while zoomed adjusts the zoom level. The mod is built to avoid conflicts with other mods that alter rendering, and the author notes it may work alongside similar performance-focused renderers. Extremely far zoom-out can produce graphical glitches. Files exist for Forge only, covering 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.20.1, released 2023-08-24. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.

What the author says
Allows you to zoom in like in optifine. Many other mods cause issues with rubidium and similar mods. This mod tries to prevent that. While Zoomed in you can adjust the zoom with the mouse wheel. Extrem zoom out and in may cause some graphic glitches.
