About Spyglass

The Spyglass is a handheld tool that zooms your view in on distant terrain and mobs. Hold the use button while looking through it to get a much closer look at whatever you are aiming at. That makes it useful for scouting builds, finding villages, or checking whether that shape on the horizon is a creeper.

While you are zoomed in, your view is framed by a copper-bordered lens, and your movement speed is reduced. It has no combat or redstone use; it is purely a visual aid.

How to get Spyglass

You get a Spyglass by crafting it. The recipe is one amethyst shard above two copper ingots in a vertical line. Amethyst shards come from amethyst geodes underground, and copper ingots are smelted from copper ore or raw copper. Spyglasses are not found in chests or sold by villagers, so crafting is the only route.
