Zoom Extended Beta v0.1.0

Initial Beta Release

Zoom Controls

  • Added highly configurable multi-step zooming with dedicated controls for zooming, zooming in, zooming out, and opening settings.
  • Added Hold and Toggle zoom activation modes.
  • Added configurable remembering of the previously selected zoom step.
  • Added an option to reset the selected zoom step when joining or changing worlds.
  • Added an option to disable zoom input while menus, inventories, chat, and other screens are open.
  • Added separate Zoom In / Next Step and Zoom Out / Previous Step keybinds.
  • Added clean zoom-step behavior without intrusive step/status messages.

Zoom Steps

  • Added a configurable zoom-step system supporting 2–64 zoom levels.
  • Added 20 zoom steps by default for fine zoom control.
  • Added a default zoom range of 2x–64x magnification.
  • Added configurable minimum and maximum zoom magnification.
  • Added automatically generated, smoothly distributed zoom levels between the selected minimum and maximum.
  • Added configurable default zoom-step selection.
  • Added Clamp and Wrap behavior when moving past the first or last zoom step.
  • Added an option to reverse the direction of zoom-step controls.
  • Added an in-settings preview of the currently generated zoom range and zoom multipliers.

Mouse-Wheel Zooming

  • Added an option to invert mouse-wheel zoom direction.
  • Added configurable numbers of zoom steps moved per scroll.
  • Added separate smoothing duration specifically for mouse-wheel zooming.

Zoom Animations

  • Added independently configurable zoom-in and zoom-out animations.

  • Added separate zoom-in and zoom-out transition lengths.

  • Added a global animation-speed multiplier.

  • Added optional smooth animations when changing between zoom steps.

  • Added optional tick-based / quantized zoom animations.

  • Added configurable animation tick counts for stepped animations.

  • Added configurable overshoot strength for Back-style animations.

  • Added 12 easing styles:

    • Linear
    • Ease In
    • Ease Out
    • Ease In/Out
    • Sine
    • Cubic
    • Quartic
    • Quintic
    • Exponential

Camera & View

  • Added configurable minimum FOV protection for extreme zoom levels.

  • Added an optional extreme-FOV clamp to prevent zooming below the configured minimum FOV.

  • Added an option to completely hide the first-person hand and held item while zooming.

  • Added an option to apply the zoomed FOV to the first-person hand when it remains visible.

  • Added configurable HUD behavior while zooming:

    • Normal — leaves the HUD untouched.
    • Fade — applies a configurable cinematic darkening effect.
    • Hide — completely hides the HUD, crosshair, and hotbar while zooming.

  • Added configurable HUD fade strength.

  • HUD hiding is enabled by default for a clean zoomed view.

  • Hand and held-item hiding is enabled by default while zooming.

Mouse Sensitivity

  • Added automatic zoom-relative mouse sensitivity.
  • Mouse sensitivity can automatically decrease as magnification increases for much more precise aiming at high zoom levels.
  • Added configurable relative-sensitivity strength.
  • Supports fully proportional 1/zoom sensitivity scaling or weaker custom scaling.
  • Relative sensitivity adjustment is enabled by default.

Zoom Sounds

  • Added configurable zoom sound feedback.

  • Added a master switch for all zoom sounds.

    • Entering zoom.
    • Leaving zoom.
    • Changing zoom steps.

  • Added a short tick-style sound when changing zoom steps.

  • Added configurable sound volume.

  • Added configurable base sound pitch.

  • Added configurable step-pitch variation across the zoom range, allowing stronger zoom levels to produce progressively different pitches.

Entity Rendering Optimization

  • Entity optimization is disabled by default and can be enabled manually.

  • Added Zoom Only and Always optimization modes.

  • Added multiple ready-made optimization profiles:

    • Conservative
    • Balanced
    • Aggressive
    • Custom

  • Added adaptive entity-render-distance scaling based on current zoom strength.

  • Added a configurable minimum magnification before zoom-only optimization begins.

  • Added a configurable minimum adaptive-distance scale for extreme zoom levels.

  • Added an option to preserve normal player rendering distances.

  • Added individually configurable rendering distances for:

    • Players
    • Hostile mobs
    • Passive mobs
    • Dropped items and projectiles
    • Other entities

  • Manually changing optimization distances automatically allows fully custom optimization behavior.
