Troubleshoot Zoom Not Working
Check Your Keybind
If pressing the zoom key doesn't work:
1. Verify the mod is installed correctly in your mods folder
2. Confirm you're pressing the correct key (check your config file for the actual keybind)
3. Make sure the key isn't bound to another action in Minecraft's controls menu
4. Check that no other mod is overriding the same keybind
Verify Your Config
1. Open the SimpleZoom config file
2. Ensure the zoom amount value is not set to 0 or a negative number
3. Check that the file was saved properly (no syntax errors)
4. Delete the config file and let the mod regenerate it with default settings
5. Restart Minecraft completely
If zoom still doesn't work after these steps, try removing and reinstalling the mod, ensuring you're using a compatible version for your Minecraft release.
