Zoom Extended v0.1.1 Stable Release

Initial Stable Release

• Added dedicated third-person zoom behavior for both third-person camera perspectives.
  • Third-person zoom now moves the camera outward by default, allowing you to see more of your surroundings instead of magnifying inward.
  • Outward camera movement smoothly follows the existing zoom animations and configured zoom steps.
  • Camera collision is preserved, preventing the outward camera from simply clipping through walls.
• Added configurable Third-Person Zoom Modes:
  • OUTWARD — moves the camera outward without changing the FOV. This is the new default.
  • OUTWARD + FOV — combines outward camera movement with the normal FOV zoom effect.
  • FOV ONLY — uses the original inward FOV zoom behavior in third person.
• Added a configurable Maximum Third-Person Distance.
  • Defaults to 16 blocks.
  • Configurable from 4 to 64 blocks.
  • Stronger zoom levels progressively move the camera closer to the configured maximum distance.
• Reduced the default zoom sound volume from 25% to 10%.
  • Existing beta configurations using the previous untouched 25% default automatically migrate to 10%.
  • Sound volume remains fully configurable.
• Added highly configurable multi-step zooming with fine-grained zoom levels.
• Added Hold and Toggle activation modes.
• Added scroll-wheel zooming with configurable direction, step amount, and transition duration.
• Added configurable zoom-in, zoom-out, and step-change animations.
• Added multiple easing styles including Sine, Cubic, Back, Elastic, Bounce, and more.
• Added optional tick-based / stepped zoom animations.
• Added configurable zoom sounds for entering, exiting, and changing zoom steps.
• Added configurable sound volume, pitch, and step pitch variation.
• Added configurable zoom-step wrapping, reversing, default step selection, and previous-step memory.
• Added relative mouse sensitivity scaling while zoomed for more precise aiming.
• Added configurable HUD and hand behavior while zooming.
• Added configurable minimum FOV and extreme-zoom safety options.
• Added zoom-aware entity rendering optimizations with configurable distances and presets.
• Added separate optimization controls for players, hostile mobs, passive mobs, items/projectiles, and other entities.
• Added adaptive entity optimization based on current zoom strength.
• Added support for up to 1096x configurable maximum zoom.
• Significantly improved Relative Mouse Sensitivity while zoomed.
  • Sensitivity now continuously adapts throughout the entire zoom range, beginning with small zoom levels such as 1.1x.
  • Removed the previous sensitivity floor that caused extreme zoom levels to remain far too sensitive.
  • At the default sensitivity strength, mouse sensitivity now scales proportionally with the current zoom level.
• Reworked the configuration tab interface.
  • Tab widths and spacing now adapt more cleanly to the available screen size.
  • Tab names automatically use more compact variants when the interface becomes narrower.
  • Larger interfaces display the fuller tab names where space is available.
