## ✨ What's New

🆕 **<u>Minecraft 26.3 support</u>**
The mod has been fully ported to 26.3. Requires **Java 25**, **Fabric Loader 0.19.5** and **Fabric API**.

⚙️ **<u>Mod Menu config screen</u>**
Click the config button next to Better F5 Cam in Mod Menu and change every setting in-game. Mod Menu is **optional**, the mod works fine without it.

🌊 **<u>Smooth zoom animation</u>**
Scrolling now glides instead of snapping. Pick your favorite style:

- **Smooth** – fast start, soft landing
- **Spring** – slightly overshoots, then settles back
- **Linear** – constant speed
- **Off** – the old instant behavior

⏱️ **<u>Animation speed slider</u>**
Frame-rate independent, so it feels the same on any PC.

🖱️ **<u>Scroll step</u>**
Choose how far the camera moves per scroll notch (0.1 to 3.0).

🚀 **<u>Scroll acceleration</u>**
Scroll quickly and the steps grow automatically. Reaching 300 blocks and coming back is now effortless.

📏 **<u>Distance-scaled steps</u>**
Steps grow as the camera moves farther out and stay precise up close. Can be turned off.

🔧 **And more:**
- Invert scroll option
- Configurable **min / max / default distance**
- **Live preview**: the "Test Animation" button shows your animation settings in action
- **Reset Settings** button
- New distance HUD with a small progress bar (can be disabled)
- English and Turkish translations

## 🛠️ Improvements

- Animation is driven by the camera itself, so it stays smooth even with the HUD hidden (**F1**)
- Holding **F5** no longer cycles the perspective over and over
- Scrolling while a menu is open no longer triggers the zoom
- Keybind category updated to the new system ("Better F5 Cam")
- Your existing `BetterF5.properties` config is still read as-is, new options are added with default values

## ⚠️ Important

> This version is for **<u>Minecraft 26.3 only</u>**.
> Use the previous Better F5 Cam releases for older Minecraft versions.
