I've been preparing for a Java exam, and thought I could try to mess with Minecraft.
I didn't intend to release this because it doesn't change much things, but I thought some people would be interested in it.
It adds a zoom button (similar to Portal 2), and a tweakable mouse smoother. Notably, the mouse smoother can be used during gameplay without too much issues.
The zoom button was inspired from Portal 2, and made because after finishing Portal 2 I was constantly rambling by the fact that Minecraft didn't have a zoom button.
[size=medium]Works both in SSP and SMP on any server you join.
Requires ModLoader.[/size]
[size=medium]Hold TAB down to zoom in and out. Watch the video above for more details.[/size]

[size=medium]Usage notes[/size]
In the following notes, TAB will refer to the Zoom key. This can be changed in the generic Keyboard option menu in Minecraft.
Press TAB: Enable or disable Zoom mode. Hold TAB down: Zoom calibration mode. Look very slightly up to zoom in, and look slightly down to zoom out. Release TAB to stop calibrating.
While in the inventory, press TAB: Enable Smoother calibration mode. After enabling Smoother calibration mode, close the inventory: Look up to increase the smoother intensity, and look down to decrease the smoother intensity. While calibrating the Smoother, press TAB: Disable Smoother calibration mode.

1.0.0 r9
- Version upgrade.

1.6.6 r3 - Added Zoom calibration. - Restores previous Zoom behavior. - Due to this, it conflicts with Optimine notably.
- Restored the Minaptics r1 zoom feeling.
- Made the Zoom key tweakable in a text file.
- Made the FOV maximum multiplier tweakable in a text file.
- Made the Zoom duration on-toggle tweakable in a text file.
- Changed the way you have to calibrate the Smoother.
1.6.6 r2 - Changed Zoom behavior. - Removed Smoother due to implementation issues. - Now uses ModLoader.
1.6.6 r1 - Added Zoom. - Added Smoother.
[size=medium]Troubleshooting and questions[/size] I'm making a machinima, can I use a wide angle camera FOV?
Open minaptics_options.txt, and change the maximum multiplier "maximumzoomfield" with a value over 1.0.
You can also tweak the duration in which a Zoom is performed in that file, and other stuff.
How to change the Zoom key?
Go to (Escape Menu or Main Menu) -> Options -> Controls -> Set the Zoom binding.
How to change the Zoom key? In case ModLoader doesn't display the options anymore, there is an alternative.
To change the Zoom key, open (Operating system Roaming folder)/.minecraft/minaptics_options.txt (If the file doesn't exist, then start the game, join a world, and Hold TAB for a few seconds.).
Then, change the number after the word key_zoom, to one of the following values of a keyboard mapping.
For instance, if you want to assign your zoom to the key "c", replace:
key_zoom:15
with
key_zoom:46
[size=medium]How can I show my support?[/size]
Do you use Dropbox? If not, can you use my referral link so I can get more storage space? Update: I've reached the maximum amount of referrals, thanks a lot! Please support other mod creators by using their referral links (please don't register on Dropbox without a referral link, you'll benefit more storage space from using a link and plus, you'll help someone)
How can Dropbox be useful for you?
There is an incredibly useful tool I'm using to work, and it serves for other purposes! I think that if you don't know it already, you could benefit from it.
Dropbox is an online file storage and synchronization software that allows me to work on projects, and synchronize every time my project files change. And it can revert changes by keeping a 30-day old file history of every single change!
It once helped me on Minecraft when one of my worlds stopped working. Not only I can synchronize my Minecraft Worlds on an online space so that I can play on the same world on several computers when I'm moving, it also keeps backups... so my world being corrupted due to the pistons was fixed within seconds!
And it also allows you to share a folder towards multiple users, to share work, photos instantly.
It's totally free! If you don't have Dropbox yet, if you consider registering, please use my referral link so that I can get more storage space!
I personally do that:
If you want to play Minecraft on a Dropbox folder on Windows, put Minecraft.exe on a subfolder of the Dropbox folder, and create a batch file (text file with the extension renamed to .bat), containing:
@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
md "%CD%\user\myname"
set "APPDATA=%CD%\user\myname"
start Minecraft
Replace myname with your nickname, without spaces preferably.The Minecraft content will be in user\myname. That's where you will mod your Minecraft. You can also create multiple batch files with other myname to make sessions on a same Windows account!
Double click on that batch file to launch Minecraft.
In case you want to run third party programs (like MCPatcher), you need another batch file.
On Windows, create a batch file containing (replace myname with your nickname, without spaces preferably):
@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
md "%CD%\user\myname"
set "APPDATA=%CD%\user\myname"
start %1
Then, drag and drop third party executable or jars that expect .minecraft to be in %APPDATA%.
There are other techniques to make Minecraft run with Dropbox, but the Batch technique is my favorite. I'm also using this technique to play several versions of Minecraft (exemple: Playing the newest Minecraft version, and playing an old and stable version of Minecraft for some other servers).

Cool, I will edit my post and confirm incompatibilities. Downloading and about to install, looks great though! Really great for a first mod.

Edit: Ok, the kr.class and hr.class are conflicting in Optimine/Optifog (merged version). And it conflicts in ModLoader with the kr.class as well. In Better Than Wolves mod, it conflicts with the lo.class, same with Spider Queen mod.
Hope you can figure out how to make it more compatible, it's really a nice mod.

Hm... It looks like our chances of finding it... *sunglasses* Just went up a Notch.
This mod looks great, but quite disappointed that it doesn't work with Modloader, as I would rather keep all the other mod's I'm using.
OMG PBAT :biggrin.gif: Man I love your vids!
Fanboy aside....
Amazing Mod! Wish it was compatible with Optimine, Optifog and Modloader though! I can total see this being used as a "scope" when trying to shoot arrows long distances.
I'm currently learning more of Java and Minecraft modding, trying to dig out solutions for this.
Unfortunately, most of the mods I find or the tutorials I find are about adding new blocks, new recipes, new ores, new furnace smelting or new NPCs and so I find very little tutorials about how to complete my case (that is adding new options, new bindings, and overriding the EntityLiving/EntityPlayer adequately).
My god it's hard to find information. It's like trying to make a cake by dissecting other cakes instead of using a recipe.
I found a mod called ModOptionsAPI which could fit the menu conflicts issue, but it doesn't seem to be able to add new key bindings so I'm stuck there.
I'll try to keep you informed if there are major progress.

I displayed this mod in the Latest episode of my YouTube LP. It's such a simple yet useful mod, but I ran into a problem about 3 times where everything except me would freeze for about 10 seconds, and then crash the game. I don't know if this is a problem with Minecraft 1.6.6, but seeing as how you said there was compatibility problems, I'm going to assume it's the mod.
GREAT MOD!!!!!! but i have same problem as pbat (paperbagVG) btw i love your videos <3 but back to the point i got it to work with modloader more creeps and weirdos toomanyitems singleplayer commands zombies mod pack and a lot more :biggrin.gif: but ya it freeze some times thanks
