Switch Between In-Game and GUI Zoom Seamlessly

Managing Multiple Zoom Contexts

Ok Boomer handles zoom differently for the game world versus menus, letting you use both without conflicts.

How It Works

  • In-game zoom (Ctrl + Shift + C in the world): Affects your view of blocks, mobs, and terrain
  • GUI zoom (Ctrl + Shift + C in menus): Affects your view of inventories, chests, and interface elements
  • Each context maintains its own zoom level independently

Workflow Example

1. Zoom in on a distant mountain to scout for resources

2. Open your inventory without losing zoom (your inventory appears zoomed)

3. Close inventory—you return to your zoomed world view

4. Press Ctrl + Shift + C again to exit zoom and return to normal view

Notes

  • Zoom state resets when you close the game
  • Switching between zoom contexts is instant—no delay or stuttering
  • Both zoom types use the same key combination but activate based on whether a GUI is open
