An ~~over-engineered~~ simple zoom mod.
This mod adds a keybind which zooms in your FOV while it's held down, allowing you to see further away, and keybinds
for increasing and decreasing the zoom level.
A: You'll find the config at .minecraft/global/zume.json5 (note that this is the default .minecraft folder, not
the instance .minecraft). You can modify the file while the game is running, and the config will be automatically
reloaded. On platforms which have mod menus (such as Forge, and Fabric with Mod Menu
installed), the config button for Zume will open this file in your system text editor.

A: Zume supports the following platforms:
A: Every platform I intend to add support for myself is already supported. PRs are welcome for other platforms if
the following conditions are met:
@WrapWithCondition and @ModifyExpressionValue and such from MixinExtras over @Redirect in most implementations.A: OSL-3.0 is the closest equivalent to a LAGPL I could find. AGPL and GPL are incompatible with Minecraft, and LGPL
doesn't protect network use. OSL-3.0 protects network use and is compatible with Minecraft.
A: This is, and will remain, free, copyleft software. Any requests to change the license other than to make it even
stronger will be denied immediately (unfortunately GPL and AGPL aren't compatible with Minecraft due to linking
restrictions, as much as I'd like to use them). Even in situations where I use parts of other projects with more
"permissive" licenses, I will treat them as copyleft, free software.
