What is Spyglass in Minecraft?

A spyglass is a wonderful tool in Minecraft that works just like a telescope or a pair of binoculars. Its purpose is to let you zoom in your vision and see things that are very far away. This is incredibly useful for exploring your world safely. You can use a spyglass to scout out a distant village, check a pillager outpost for enemies before you get too close, or try to spot your base from a long way away. It is the perfect tool for any adventurer, explorer, or builder who wants to get a better view of the world around them without having to travel all the way there.

How to get Spyglass in Minecraft

You can get a spyglass by crafting it, and its recipe requires a trip underground. You will need two copper ingots and one amethyst shard. You can get copper ingots by mining copper ore and smelting it in a furnace. Copper ore is a common ore found underground. The amethyst shard is a bit rarer. You need to find a special, large sphere shaped structure underground called an amethyst geode. Inside these geodes, you will find beautiful purple amethyst clusters growing. When you break a fully grown amethyst cluster with a pickaxe, it will drop several amethyst shards. Once you have your materials, place the amethyst shard in the top middle slot of a crafting table, and the two copper ingots in the two slots directly below it.

How to use Spyglass in Minecraft

Using a spyglass is very simple. Just hold it in your main hand or off hand and hold down the right mouse button. Your view will zoom in dramatically, and a square border will appear around your screen to show that you are looking through it. While you are looking through the spyglass, you will move very slowly, so make sure you are in a safe spot. It is a great way to get a closer look at interesting terrain, find animals for your farm, or see what that strange building on the horizon is. The spyglass has no durability, so you can use it as much as you want without it ever breaking.

My Story

How This All Started

So basically, I was playing Minecraft one night after a long day doing deliveries, and I was trying to remember what drops what and how to craft certain things. Every website I went to was either dead slow, missing loads of stuff, or just looked terrible. I thought "bloody hell, surely I can do better than this?"

By the way, this My Story section is something new I've only just started adding things here! Most of the site was actually built before I ever wrote this part. Now that the website is live, I'm running into problems galore! So if things look a bit rough or unfinished, bear with me I'm updating and adding as I go.

That was probably a mistake.

A half finished story, oh well. I'll keep adding more as I go!

Learning the Hard Way

I knew absolutely nothing about making websites. Like, properly nothing. I didn't even know what PHP was. But I'm stubborn as anything, so I just started watching YouTube tutorials and reading random stuff online while I was on my breaks.

Turns out building a database is harder than it looks. Who knew? I've probably broken this thing more times than I've fixed it. My laptop has definitely been sworn at more than it deserves.

The worst part is when you spend hours trying to figure out why something doesn't work, and it turns out you missed a semicolon. Or when everything works fine on your computer but looks like complete rubbish on someone else's. Fun times.

The Reality of It

Look, I'm not gonna lie this has been a right pain sometimes. I work full time doing deliveries, so most of this gets done late at night when I should probably be sleeping. I've had way too many energy drinks and definitely not enough sleep.

The database has corrupted itself more times than I care to remember. I've had images that wouldn't load for no reason. CSS that worked yesterday but decided to have a tantrum today. The usual web development nightmare stuff.

But every time I get something working properly, it feels brilliant. Like when I finally got all the block images showing up correctly, or when the search actually started finding things. Small wins, but they keep me going.

What I Actually Want to Build

Here's the thing I want this to be your go to place for everything Minecraft. Not just blocks and items, but proper guides, build tutorials, maybe even schematics you can download. Server info, community stuff, the lot.

I know it doesn't look like much right now, and there's loads missing. But I'm working on it. It takes time when you're learning as you go and doing it around a full time job. But I'd rather take my time and do it properly than rush it and end up with something rubbish.

The plan is to make it the kind of site I actually want to use fast, easy to navigate, with everything you need in one place. No endless ads, no broken links, just useful stuff presented in a way that doesn't make you want to throw your computer out the window.

Why I Keep Going

Honestly? Because every time someone uses this site or gives me feedback, it reminds me why I started. I love Minecraft, I love building things (both in game and apparently websites), and I love the community.

Plus, I've learned loads doing this. Sure, I've wanted to give up more times than I can count, but seeing it slowly come together is pretty satisfying. And if it helps other people find what they're looking for without having to trawl through ten different outdated websites, then that's worth it.

So yeah, bear with me while I figure this all out. It's going to take a while, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks for checking it out, and if you spot anything broken or have suggestions, let me know. I'm still learning, but I'm determined to make this work.
