Ok Zoomer Mechanics

The core of Ok Zoomer lies in its sophisticated zooming mechanics, which go beyond simple FOV (Field of View) changes.

Zooming Behavior

The mod offers three distinct modes for how the zoom key behaves:

• Hold: The zoom is active only while the key is held down
• Toggle: Pressing the key once activates the zoom; pressing it again deactivates it
• Persistent: The zoom is always active. In this mode, the zoom key is typically used in conjunction with zoom scrolling to adjust the magnification level

Zoom Scrolling

While zoomed in, players can use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the zoom level dynamically. This allows for precise observation of distant objects. The step size and limits for scrolling are fully configurable in the mod's settings.

Transitions

Ok Zoomer popularized the use of transitions to make zooming feel more natural. Available transition modes include:

• Smooth: Mimics Vanilla's dynamic FOV changes for a fluid feel
• Linear: Moves the FOV in constant steps until the target zoom is reached
• Sine/Balanced/Spring: Advanced mathematical transitions for specific aesthetic effects
• Off: Instantaneous zoom with no transition

Cinematic Camera

To aid in smooth movement while zoomed, the mod includes cinematic camera modes:

• Vanilla: Uses the standard Minecraft cinematic camera logic
• Multiplied: An enhanced version of the vanilla cinematic camera that allows for even smoother, lingering movement, ideal for recording video
