How to make a Spyglass in Minecraft

Welcome to our friendly guide on how to make a spyglass in Minecraft! With just a few simple steps, you'll be able to craft this handy tool and zoom in on specific locations within your field of view (FOV). Whether you're a seasoned Minecraft player or a beginner, this guide will walk you through the process step by step. So, let's dive in and learn how to create a spyglass in Minecraft!

Step 1: Gather the Materials

To create a spyglass, you will need the following items:

- 2 copper ingots: Copper ingots can be obtained by smelting copper ore in a furnace or blast furnace. Copper ore can be found in caves or by mining copper blocks with a stone pickaxe or higher.

- 1 amethyst shard: Amethyst shards are obtained by mining amethyst geodes. These geodes can be found underground in caves and vary in size. Use a stone pickaxe or higher to mine the amethyst block within the geode, which will drop amethyst shards.

Step 2: Open the Crafting Table

Once you have gathered the necessary materials, it's time to open your crafting table interface. To do this, press the E key on your keyboard (for Java Edition) or the X button (for Bedrock Edition) to access your inventory. Locate the crafting table icon and click on it to open the crafting table.

Step 3: Arrange the Materials

In the crafting table's 3x3 grid, you need to arrange the materials correctly to craft a spyglass. Start by placing the amethyst shard in the first row, occupying the middle slot. Then, place the copper ingots below it, occupying the left and right slots.

Step 4: Craft Your Spyglass

Once you have arranged the materials correctly, you should see a spyglass icon appear in the result box of the crafting table. This indicates that you have successfully crafted a spyglass. Simply click on the spyglass icon and move it from the crafting table into your inventory.

Step 5: Adjusting Your Field of View (FOV)

By default, the spyglass allows you to zoom in on a specific location within your field of view. In the Bedrock Edition, the default FOV is set at 60 degrees, while in the Java Edition, it's set at 70 degrees. However, if you prefer more flexibility, you can change your FOV from as low as 30 degrees up to a maximum of 110 degrees.

To adjust your FOV, access the game settings menu. In Bedrock Edition, this can be done by selecting "Settings" from the main menu and then navigating to the "Video" tab. In Java Edition, press the ESC key to access the in-game menu, then choose "Options" and select the "Video Settings" tab. Adjust the FOV slider to your desired level.

Step 6: Using Your Spyglass

To use your newly crafted spyglass, simply select it from your inventory. You can then zoom in on any specific location within your field of view by right-clicking (for Java Edition) or using the control assigned for interaction in your version of Minecraft (for Bedrock Edition). As you zoom in, the world around you will appear closer, allowing you to observe distant locations in more detail.

Note: Automatic Interface Closure

It's important to keep in mind that the spyglass interface will automatically close after a maximum of 1 minute of use. This ensures that you can't continuously zoom in and out without limits and adds a level of realism to the gameplay. So, make sure to use your time wisely and plan your observations accordingly.

Congratulations! You have successfully crafted a spyglass in Minecraft. This handy tool will enhance your exploration and allow you to zoom in on distant locations within your field of view. Whether you're using it to scout for resources, admire the landscape, or simply have fun, the spyglass is a valuable addition to your Minecraft inventory. So, go ahead, enjoy exploring, and happy crafting!
