Simple Zoom

by MrRockis

With Simple Zoom installed, holding a zoom key magnifies the view so distant structures and far-off details are easier to inspect.

What it does

Simple Zoom is a client mod that changes the field of view while a zoom key is held, with the magnification adjusted by the mouse wheel. Scrolling up increases the zoom and scrolling down reduces it, up to a 50x level, and a toggle option makes the zoom instant instead of gradual. The zoom key can be rebound under the Simple Zoom category in the standard Controls menu.

The mod needs Fabric API on every loader. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join servers without installing anything. Versions 1.19.2, 1.20, 1.20.1 and the 1.21.9 – 26.3 builds are all published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Files for 26.3 are the latest, and the Fabric build depends on Fabric API while the Forge and NeoForge builds run with their own loaders.

Key features

  1. Hold-to-zoom key

    Holding the zoom key magnifies the view, and releasing it returns the field of view to normal.

  2. Mouse wheel magnification

    While zoomed, the scroll wheel raises or lowers the magnification level, up to 50x.

  3. Adjustable mouse sensitivity

    Mouse sensitivity is scaled automatically while zoomed, which makes fine aiming easier at high magnification.

  4. Instant zoom toggle

    An option switches the zoom from gradual to instant, for players who prefer no transition.

  5. Rebindable zoom key

    The zoom key is listed under the Simple Zoom category in the Controls menu and can be changed there.
