SimpleQoL
by bubbo
SimpleQoL is a Fabric client mod that bundles zoom, freelook, fullscreen, fullbright and crosshair options into one package.
What it does
Six quality-of-life features sit behind a single mod, so a player who would otherwise install several small client tools can run them together. Zoom, freelook, borderless or fullscreen display, fullbright lighting and custom crosshairs are each configurable from an in-game config screen. Zoom can be held on a key, with the scroll wheel adjusting the zoom level and smooth interpolation easing the field of view change.
Gamma is handled with care: the mod saves the previous gamma setting, restores it when the feature is disabled, and never writes a high gamma value to options.txt, so the settings file stays clean. Each feature can be toggled with a single keypress. SimpleQoL needs Mod Menu to open its config screen, and it runs on the Fabric loader for game versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, with 1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. It is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it, and the code is under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Zoom with scroll adjustment
Zoom is held on a key, and the scroll wheel changes the zoom level while it is held.
Smooth camera and field of view
An optional smooth camera mode and smooth field of view interpolation ease transitions, and the hand can be hidden while zoomed.
Fullbright and custom crosshairs
Fullbright lighting and custom crosshair styles can each be switched on or off in the config screen.
Display modes
Fullscreen and borderless window options are available from the same settings.

How it compares
Zocular is a Fabric client mod for 26.3 under All rights reserved, not open source, covering a narrower set of zoom options. Zoom For Me is a Fabric client mod for 26.1.2 under the Apache License 2.0, not open source, and it only handles zoom. Simple Fullbright is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and targets 26.1 on Fabric, but it only adds fullbright lighting. Gamma Plus is open source under the MIT License for Fabric and Quilt on 26.2 – 26.3, and it addresses gamma alone.
