Usage

To use a spyglass, the player selects it from the hotbar and clicks Template:Control while looking in the desired direction.

Spyglasses are used to zoom in on a specific location in the player's field of view (FOV). The spyglass changes the FOV to Template:Frac of the FOV set in Minecraft:options. By default, the FOV is set to 70° in Java Edition and 60° in Bedrock Edition, resulting in an FOV of 7° in Java Edition and 6° in Bedrock Edition through the spyglass. The player's FOV can be set from 30° to 110°, so the spyglass FOV can range from 3° to 11°. Regardless of the situation, or status effects the player has, using the Spyglass always shows a FOV Template:Frac of the FOV set in Minecraft:options.

A square vignette is applied when in use, similar to the effect when wearing a Minecraft:carved pumpkin. Pressing Template:Key removes the vignette,Template:Only<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> similar to a carved pumpkin.

Hazy distant objects remain hazy when viewed in the spyglass. Mobs too distant to render also do not render in the spyglass. The spyglass shows a magnified view of what the player already sees.

The player is slowed down while watching through the spyglass. Camera movement damping can be adjusted in the controls Minecraft:settings Template:In. When the player uses the spyglass continuously for Template:Convert, the interface is automatically closed.

If the player has a certain effect on their screen like Minecraft:fire, the spyglass does not remove that effect on the player's screen.
