Zoomies
by electricdog
Zoomies is a Fabric zoom mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that adds smooth zooming, scroll sensitivity control and several zoom indicator styles.
What it does
Zoomies changes how the view narrows when a player zooms in. Zoom speed eases in and out rather than snapping, scroll wheel sensitivity can be tuned, and mouse sensitivity is normalized so the view moves at a steady pace while zoomed. Players can also turn off view bobbing and adjust vignette options, which change the darkened edges of the screen.
The mod adds a choice of zoom indicator interfaces, an entity information overlay that lists details about the mob or player in view, and a readout of the block coordinates under the zoom target. Xaero's Minimap waypoint types are supported when that mod is present, and the colour theme of the overlays can be customised. Settings open from the Mod Menu entry or directly from Zoomies.
Zoomies requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Mod Menu and Xaero's Minimap are optional. The mod is client-side only: only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. Version 1.3.5 for 1.21.11 is the latest Fabric file, released on 2026-03-10 on the beta channel. The code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain.
Key features
Smooth zoom speed
Zoom transitions run at an adjustable speed, so the view glides between zoom levels instead of jumping.
Scroll zoom sensitivity
The amount each scroll step changes the zoom level can be set to suit the player's input device.
Entity information overlay
While zoomed, an overlay shows details about the entity in the centre of the view.
Zoom indicator styles
Several on-screen indicator designs show the current zoom level, and the chosen one can be switched in the settings.

How it compares
YesZoom is client-side only, runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 and is released under All rights reserved, so its source is not open. Smooth Zooming is also client-side only, covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 and is under All rights reserved. Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier is client-side only for Fabric across 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the MIT License, but it only adjusts mouse sensitivity and does not add zoom behaviour.
