Argus by Olympus

Argus is a zoom and a freelook camera in one mod. Hold C to zoom, scroll to go closer, and hold Left Alt to look around without turning your character. You can do both at once.

It's client-side only, so it works on any server and nobody else needs to install it.

• Zoom as far as you want. Scroll to step from 1x up to your own maximum, 1000x at most, or turn on unlimited. A second key gives finer steps.
• Keep aiming. The mouse slows down as you zoom in, the view doesn't bob, and it stays smooth even at extreme zoom.
• Start where you like. Pick the starting level, or have Argus remember the last one, even after a restart.
• Zoom out too. In third person or while freelooking, scrolling out past 1x pulls the camera back from you. In first person it can widen your FOV instead.
• Look around freely. Freelook turns the camera and leaves your character alone, so you keep walking, mining and fighting in the direction you were facing.
• Orbit yourself. In third person the camera circles around you, and your head can turn to follow it.
• Choose what happens on release. The camera swings back, snaps back, or stays put until you recenter it.
• Clean up the screen. Hide the crosshair, your hand or the whole HUD while zoomed, add a vignette, and show the zoom level under the crosshair.

Scrolling switches your hotbar like always whenever you aren't zooming. Every key can be changed under Controls, Argus.

Argus draws its settings with Proteus, the same as the other Olympus mods. Open them from the Argus card in the Proteus menu, or bind the Open settings key. The Modern or Classic style and accent color are set once on the Proteus card and apply to every Olympus mod.
