Download Zoom Mod for Minecraft

This is a small mod that adds a new zoom feature to Minecraft, similar to binoculars.

You can esaily zoom and find out what kind of ores are in front you – from a distance, letting you to pass by coal when searching for iron, or both of these when searching for gold, or all of these when searching for diamonds.

Zoom Mod Controls:

You can use it by pressing a button like with OptiFine for example. If like me you already wanted to look at something from a long distance away while playing Minecraft, this mod is a must-have for you.

Like I already said, you can get this zoom effect by installing Optifine, but this mod just comes with this only feature and does not adds optimization settings like OptiFine does

Download the Minecraft Forge and install it
Navigate to the Zoom Mod and download it
Navigate to the app data
