Simple ZOOM X
by Felixwrn
Simple ZOOM X is a Fabric client mod that adds a quick zoom, bound to the C key, for looking at distant objects while exploring or building.
What it does
Holding the C key narrows the field of view so distant blocks, mobs and terrain come closer on screen. Releasing it returns the view to normal. The zoom is meant for spotting far-off objects without changing the rest of the game, and the mod does not add menus, commands or new blocks.
Because the work happens entirely on the player's side, the mod is installed on the client alone and needs nothing on a server. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, in a single build for 26.1.2. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Zoom on the C key
Pressing C zooms the view in, giving a closer look at objects that are far away.
Lightweight design
The mod keeps to one feature, a simple zoom, so it adds little beyond the zoom itself.
Client-side behavior
All of the zoom runs on the player's game, so the mod does not change how a server behaves.

Use cases
Spotting distant objects
Players can zoom in to pick out a village, a mob or a landmark across a large area.
Building at range
Zooming helps check the placement of distant builds from a fixed position.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a single-purpose zoom for exploring and building in 26.1.2, without extra features.
How it compares
Infinizoom is a Fabric client-side zoom for 1.21.4 – 26.1.2, released under All rights reserved, so it covers the same game version. ZoomHehe is also client-side on Fabric, released under the MIT License and built for 1.21.11 – 26.3, which places it on a later range than this build.
