Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the item zoom for the first time?
Press Shift + Z to toggle the zoom display on. You'll see a large preview appear whenever you hover over an item in your inventory. If nothing happens, check that the mod is installed correctly by looking for ItemZoom in your mods folder.
Can I change the zoom hotkey to something other than Shift + Z?
Yes, open your Minecraft controls menu, search for "ItemZoom" in the keybinds list, and click on the Shift + Z binding to reassign it to any key you prefer.
How do I make the zoom preview bigger or smaller?
You can adjust the zoom level through the mod's config file, or use hotkeys while in-game to increase or decrease the size on the fly. Check your controls menu to see which keys are bound to zoom adjustment.
Is there a way to hold down a key to show zoom only while I'm pressing it?
Yes, you can set up a separate keybind in the controls menu for "hold to zoom" mode, which will display the preview only while you hold that key down instead of toggling it on and off.
