Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Adds a keybind for using a spyglass anywhere in your inventory. (default key: C)

Can be used _client-side only_, but server-side presence allows changing the item required to use the keybind.

**This mod is only for _Fabric_, Forge support is planned once it's out of beta!**

Now with Trinkets support! By default, a spyglass can be equipped in your belt slot if the Trinkets mod is present on both client and server, as well as Quick Spyglasser being present on both sides.

Mod Compatibility

Cloth Config API - required dependency, needed on the respective side
Fabric API - required dependency, needed on the respective side
