Over the years, many games have managed to transcend user expectations and become a timeless classic but none more than Minecraft, which is also the most selling game of all time. Yep, you read that right. Since its public release back in 2011, Mojang Studios’ Minecraft, a 沙盒游戏, has been bought over 200 million times across various platforms. Minecraft was originally released for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS X but has since been ported to work on other platforms and has also been cloned by other developers. Currently, Minecraft attracts over 126 million active users every month and continues to be adored by gamers worldwide. Have you wondered how to zoom in on Minecraft PC?
To give you a gist of the game, in Minecraft, players explore an infinite world made up of Lego-style blocks while collecting various raw materials and building things. They can also fight against computer-controlled bots or compete with other players on the same server. Since players are supposed to explore their environment and find things to build their empire, zooming in or out on far away, things and targets can prove to be extremely useful. Unfortunately, the game lacks a built-in option to zoom and demands the use of third-party mods. In this article, we have listed various methods that you can follow to zoom in or out in Minecraft on Windows PC and Mac devices.
