Just Zoom Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I zoom in with Just Zoom Mod?
Hold down the zoom keybind (default Z, or Y on some keyboard layouts) to zoom in, and release it to return to normal view. You can also set it to toggle mode in the settings if you prefer not to hold the key.
Why isn't my zoom key working?
The zoom key may be conflicting with another mod or a vanilla keybind, so check your controls menu for conflicts. Also make sure the keybind is actually assigned and that you're not typing in chat or a search field when you press it.
How do I zoom in further than the spyglass?
While zoomed in, scroll the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the zoom level. Just Zoom Mod allows deeper magnification than the vanilla spyglass, so keep scrolling to push past what the spyglass can do.
How do I change the zoom key?
Open Options, then Controls, then Key Binds, and look for the Just Zoom category to rebind the zoom key. If you don't see it there, check the mod's own settings menu via the Spyglass button on the pause screen.
Why is my mouse so fast or slow while zooming?
Just Zoom Mod normalizes mouse sensitivity during zoom so movement stays proportional, but you can fine-tune it in the mod's settings if it still feels off. Adjust the sensitivity slider until aiming feels natural at your preferred zoom level.
How do I turn off the smooth zoom transition?
Open the Just Zoom settings menu using the Spyglass button at the bottom-left of the pause screen, then disable the smooth zoom option. With it off, zooming snaps instantly instead of easing in and out.
Where are the Just Zoom Mod settings?
They're accessible in-game through a Spyglass button in the bottom-left corner of the pause screen. Click it to open the settings, where you can change zoom behavior, sensitivity, and transition options.
Does Just Zoom Mod work with OptiFine or shaders?
Just Zoom is generally lightweight and works alongside most rendering mods, but heavy shader packs or conflicting zoom mods can cause issues. If zoom behaves strangely, try disabling other zoom-related mods first.
Can I use Just Zoom Mod on a server?
Yes, Just Zoom Mod is client-side, so it works on any server without needing to be installed server-side. It only changes how your own view renders and doesn't affect gameplay mechanics.
Why does zoom feel laggy or stutter?
Zooming increases the rendered detail in your view, which can strain performance on lower-end systems, especially with shaders. Try lowering your render distance or disabling smooth zoom transitions to reduce the load.
