Zoooom
by ryankshah
Holding the Z key while playing narrows the view in Zoooom, a Client-side only zoom feature for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Zoooom gives the player a zoom function bound to the Z key. Holding the key narrows the field of view so distant terrain, mobs and scenery can be inspected in more detail. The zoom depth is set by the zoomAmount value in the client configuration file, so a player can tune how far the view reaches. An option enables smooth camera movement while zooming, and it can be turned off for a plainer transition.
The mod needs Forge Config API Port on every loader it is installed on. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest file, 1.0.0, published for 1.21.4 on 2025-03-03. Only the client needs the mod; a server can run without it.
