Zoom In
Zoom In gives players a single keypress that magnifies the view, with scroll-wheel zoom and a range of camera options that can be tuned in the settings.
What it does
Holding the zoom key narrows the field of view, which lets a player look at distant builds or terrain. The base zoom is a fixed 4x and works the same whether or not the optional scroll-wheel zoom is turned on. Scroll-wheel zoom is off by default and is enabled in the settings screen. Once it is on, holding the zoom key and scrolling takes the magnification further, and the mod offers a Max Zoom Depth option with steps of 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, Infinite and 1000x, applying only while scroll-wheel zoom is on.
The mod can be reached through a slash command or the settings screen, and Mod Menu, which is optional, adds a direct entry to that screen. Players can choose between zoom transitions such as Smooth, Instant, Floaty and Cinematic Camera. A Max Zoom Out Distance setting limits how far the camera pulls back, and an independent depth setting can keep a deeper zoom without the camera pull-back. Hide Hotbar Zoomed and Disable View Bobbing Zoom are toggles that apply while zoomed.
Zoom In is published for Fabric only, across game versions 1.21.11 – 26.3. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional. It runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
