ZoomitSky
by DevSkyK1D
ZoomitSky adds normal and cinematic zoom with three modes, bound to configurable keys, for players who want a closer or wider view.
What it does
Two zoom styles are included. Normal zoom works as a clean, fast zoom without visual distractions. Cinematic zoom adds a third-person view and black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, hiding the interface for professional-looking shots. Each style can be switched between modes using a single key.
Zoom can be held down for a classic hold-to-zoom feel, or pressed once to turn it on and off, which suits long shots. The mod's options interface has been reworked, and a settings section controls the cinematic bars. All keys are configurable from the keyboard settings.
ZoomitSky is a Fabric mod released under the MIT License, and its source code is public. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file, published on the beta channel. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it.
Key features
Normal zoom
A fast zoom bound to the Z key, with no visual effects layered on top of it.
Cinematic zoom
A zoom bound to the C key that adds third-person framing and hides the interface behind black bars.
Hold and press modes
Zoom can be held for as long as the key stays down, or toggled on and off with one press.
Configurable keys
Each zoom style and mode can be assigned to a different key in the keyboard settings.

Use cases
Long shots
The press-once mode keeps zoom active without holding a key, which suits scenic and distant framing.
Recording and screenshots
Cinematic zoom with its black bars gives content creators framing closer to a film shot.
Who it’s for: Players who want to inspect distant builds or scenery, and content creators who record gameplay and need controlled framing. Players who only want a standard zoom can use the normal style alone.
