Usage


A spyglass being used to zoom in on a block of gold starting from normal FOV (70).
Spyglasses are used to zoom in on a specific location in the player's field of view (FOV). The spyglass changes the FOV to 1⁄10 of the FOV set in options. By default, your FOV is set to 70, resulting in an FOV of 7 through the spyglass. The player's FOV can be set from 30 to 110, so a range from 3 to 11 FOV through the spyglass is possible.
A square vignette is applied when in use, similar to the effect when wearing a carved pumpkin. Pressing F1 removes the vignette,[1] similar to a carved pumpkin.
The player is slowed down while watching through the spyglass. When the player uses spyglass continuously for 1 minute (1200 game ticks), the interface will be closed automatically.

A '''knowledge book''' is a utility item that reveals available [[crafting]] recipes to the player when {{control|used|use}}.
== Obtaining ==
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using [[commands]], as it is not found in the [[creative]] inventory; therefore, it is impossible to obtain in other modes such as [[survival]] and [[adventure]] except with commands.
For example, to give oneself a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for [[bucket]]s and [[flower pot]]s, use: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:knowledge_book{Recipes:["minecraft:bucket", "minecraft:flower_pot"]} }}.
== Usage ==
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their [[recipe book]]. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.
Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with {{cmd|gamerule doLimitedCrafting true}}, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.
