10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I zoom in?
Press C (or your configured keybind) to zoom in. Press it again or move your mouse wheel to zoom back out.
Can I change the zoom key?
Yes, open your config file and change the keybind setting to any key you prefer, then restart the game.
How do I make the zoom stronger or weaker?
Edit the zoom amount value in your config file—increase it for more zoom, decrease it for less zoom, then restart.
Does zoom work in first person and third person?
Yes, zoom works in both camera modes and applies the same magnification in each.
Can I zoom while holding items or aiming a bow?
Yes, zoom works while holding any item, including bows and crossbows, making it useful for precise aiming.
Does zoom affect my field of view permanently?
No, zoom only magnifies your view while the key is held down; your field of view returns to normal when you release it.
Why isn't zoom working?
Check that the mod is installed correctly, verify your keybind isn't conflicting with another mod or game setting, and make sure you're pressing the right key.
Does this mod work with other mods?
