Spyglass at a glance

Spyglass comes from crafting, and Tools is where it sits as a tool. It does not stack, so every one you carry costs a full inventory slot, and nine of them fill a hotbar row.

Building with it

An amethyst shard on top of two copper ingots makes a spyglass, and it zooms the view without any durability cost at all. Sailors and builders use it the same way: check whether that shape on the horizon is a village or a shipwreck before committing to the swim.
