Charlie Zoom

A lightweight client-side Minecraft mod that gives you a zoom key

Hold the zoom key (default: C, rebindable in Controls → Key Binds) and your FOV smoothly eases down to a zoomed-in view. Release it and it eases right back.

Features

• One-key zoom — hold C to zoom in, release to zoom out (key is rebindable in vanilla key bind settings)
• Smooth transition — FOV animates with an ease-out curve (fast at first, then slowing down), finishing in about 0.1–0.2 seconds
• Scroll-wheel zoom level — while zooming, scroll the mouse wheel to adjust the target FOV in 10° steps (scroll up = zoom in, scroll down = zoom out), default 30°
• Wide zoom range — from 10° (spyglass-like) up to 170° (ultra-wide), going beyond Minecraft’s vanilla 30–110° limit
• Sensitivity linked to zoom — while zoomed, mouse sensitivity is automatically reduced in proportion to original FOV / current FOV, so aiming stays precise. It also scales smoothly during the transition animation. Your game settings are never modified
• Works in all perspectives — first person and third person

Controls

| Action | Key |
| ——————————- | ————————— |
| Hold to zoom | C (rebindable) |
| Adjust zoom level while zooming | Mouse wheel (10° per step) |

FAQ / Notes

• Client-side only — safe to install on your client; servers don’t need it (and other players won’t see any effect of it)
• No settings file — zoom level resets per session; it’s all in-game via the scroll wheel
• Doesn’t touch your settings — sensitivity is applied transiently while zooming and never written to your options
• Compatible with other zoom methods — designed to coexist; only overrides the camera FOV and mouse input while you hold the key
