[Mod] Spyglass [spyglass]

[StarNinjas]

Hello everyone! I made this mod because I thought the way the binoculars worked in Minetest game was weird. This mod is a much better mod, that will hopefully eventually replace the binoculars mod. You just need a glass and two copper ingots to craft a Spyglass. I'd like to add durability to this eventually too, so it's not too OP. This is a fork of the binoculars mod and the sniper_rifles mod. Use the use key (default: right-click), to zoom in while holding the Spyglass. Note, that this blocks your hotbar, be conscious of your surroundings!

Tbh when playing with enough mods, your hotbar is already pretty full, and I don't think I would use a not fully necessary tool on my hotbar.

Also I love to just being able to zoom around whenever I want. I just simply love to press a single button and zoom anywhere.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean? Do you mean it's not a needed item or you don't like how it blocks the hud?

I'm glad you enjoy the single button feature!

I like this mod better than the default binoculars. Every tool in the game work only when you select it in the hot bar except the binoculars which make them non intuitive to use, this is much better IMO, also blocking part of the screen is a good trade off to be able to see further.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!
