Changelog

[1.2.0] - 2026-11-06

Everything the mod saves is now in config/cinematiczoom/: config.json and backups/. Files from older versions move there on launch.

Forge and NeoForge: native builds for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.5, 1.21.7, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2, and 26.3, plus NeoForge 1.21.2. Forge published no 1.21.2 loader. Each jar loads only on its exact Minecraft version.
Aspect ratio profiles: Auto, 2.39:1, 2.35:1, 2:1, 1.85:1, 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1, plus custom ratios. Ratios wider than the window add top and bottom bars. Narrower ratios add side bars.
Profile cycling: ← and → switch ratios during cinematic zoom. Enable global cycling to switch outside zoom. The selection is saved.
Bar animation: entry, exit, and profile changes each have their own Instant, Linear, or Smooth mode and duration.
Accurate magnification up to 500× for new installations.
Forge settings: a built-in settings screen on 1.21.1 and newer, with no Cloth Config or Mod Menu needed.

Zoom without bars: bind it to V by default. Players who already set this key keep their choice.
Jar names: Fabric jars now include the loader, such as cinematic-zoom-extended-1.21.2-1.21.4-fabric-1.1.0.jar.
26.2: this jar now covers 26.2 only. 26.2.1 and 26.2.2 have no Fabric builds to test against.
Existing settings: saved configs keep their FOV behavior, percentage bars, and zoom limits. Migration writes cinematiczoom.json.v1.bak first.
Repository: use cinematic-zoom-extended for GitHub, the Gradle project, and new build filenames. Existing release downloads, mod identity, key binds, and saved settings keep their names and contents.
CurseForge publishing: read the version and artifact prefix from gradle.properties, and upload every loader.
Update source, issue, release, and badge links to the renamed repository.
Wiki: interactive and animated zoom views, run on the mod's zoom code over the game's title screen panorama. Add left and right aspect presets and letterbox and pillarbox visuals.
Add the CurseForge release sheet, configuration defaults, and repository instructions using the shared templates standard.
