Spyglass
Magnifies distant objects for scouting without changing the normal field-of-view setting.
Magnifies distant objects for scouting without changing the normal field-of-view setting.
How to obtain
Crafting requires one amethyst shard and two copper ingots. Shards grow in amethyst geodes, while copper is available early in progression.
Primary use
Holding use narrows the field of view and reveals distant detail. It is useful for locating structures, villages, portals, and safe routes.
Important mechanics
Magnification is visual: it does not increase render distance or load new chunks. A characteristic overlay appears and can be changed by a resource pack.
Practical tips
Use the spyglass from high ground and increase render distance first if the device can handle it. Put it away before combat because the narrow view hides flanking threats.
