Latest file for Various v1.19.x:
spyglass_0.5.1.zip 1-click install


Adds a new tool to the game, the spyglass.

Some metal smithing, and glass smelting you can have your very own spyglass, then go exploring the wilds, or spy on your neighbors from the safety of your windmill.

As of v0.3.0 - You can now use the mouse wheel to adjust your zoom some while your are using the spyglass.

As of v0.3.1 - Config Options

As of v0.4.7 - Removed Damage from hitting, this is more consistent with other similar items in the game, added Bismuth as a valid material, its not like your going to be hitting anything with it anyway. ;)

As of v0.5.0 - new config options, including mouse wheel settings and options, preserveZoomBetweenUses and vignette options as well as french and russian localization.

As of v0.5.1 - Pt-Br Localization.

Vingnette

You can now select one of several possible vignettes via the setting "vignetteStyle" in the mod config file.

  • "edge" - This is the default and appears as a soft darkening around the border of the screen.
  • "box" - This produces a hard edge the encroaches from the edge of the screen.
  • "square" - Produces a overlay that covers all but a centered square.
  • "circle" - Produces a overlay that covers all but a centered circle.

In addition to the style, you can adjust:

  • "edgeSize" - This is the number of pixels from the edge of the screen that the vignette will extend, circle and square use this setting on the smaller axis of your screen.
  • "edgeOpacity" - How transparent the vignette is, 0.0 being invisible, and 1.0 being virtually opaque; please note that the mod will adjust this value as you scroll and the interface animates in a way that I think improves the experience over all.

Sadly, seems nonfunctional on 1.20.

💬 Jamac, May 30th at 10:17 PM

Do you think you could add a config option to make the edge opacity stay the same when you scroll to change zoom? I set my opacity to 1 but it becomes transparent when I zoom out. Other than that, I love the mod, great work!

Great mod! Is there a way to use it in you'r offhand?

💬 pizza2004, Apr 5th at 9:52 AM

I would love it if you made it so that when you actually use the spyglass it uses up the durability.  You could even add a small bit of code that make sure if someone cancels before it full zooms in that it doesn't use up the durability.  The code for the hoe in vanilla is a good example to look at for this.

That way there'd be a legitimate reason to try and make the better kinds of spyglass!  You could even adjust the durability to whatever felt most balanced.

💬 FuamiAuthor, Mar 28th at 4:45 PM

MrL972 Is there an issue your seeing? I just tried spyglass v0.5.1 out on vs 1.19.5 and everything seems fine, so I assume the same for Dot 4, minor releases have rarely broken anything important.

💬 MrL972, Mar 28th at 6:02 AM

can you update to 1.19.4 ?

💬 RomixERR, Mar 25th at 11:44 AM
Сhanged the recipe for the lens from the kingdom of memories mod. 
spyglass.json
💬 FuamiAuthor, Feb 28th at 1:43 AM

Orangutanion its made with glass? And thats usually made with clear quartz? If you don't like the recipe or something feel free to change the json.

💬 XurxoMF, Feb 26th at 1:07 PM

Thx a lot for the update, we'll try in a few hours ^^

💬 FuamiAuthor, Feb 26th at 6:59 AM

XurxoMF Please try 0.5.1 ( Intentalo con la versión 0.5.1 )

AzuliBluespots I've added the localization to the mod itself.

💬 AzuliBluespots, Jan 13th at 1:53 PM

I'm surprised to see this getting an update.
Since I used it a lot, I added the pt-br translation to crowdin ✌

💬 CilyMe, Jan 11th at 6:30 PM

Thank you Fuami, I will check it out today!

Edit: Worked like a champ, I'm loving it, thanks again!

💬 FuamiAuthor, Jan 10th at 5:03 AM

CilyMe I've added new settings that should enable this, you might need to remove your existing config file for it to generate one with all the new options.

💬 FuamiAuthor, Jan 7th at 8:02 AM

CilyMe I can probobly add some new settings to make this possible, I can see the utility.

Bruco lol, nice one.

💬 CilyMe, Jan 3rd at 4:55 PM

Bruco, I don't think it's lame at all! I use it extensively and never leave home without it. I use it like you do for locating sap on trees, bees, and crops on the ground. I also use it for locating terra preta, scanning the surrounding terrain for signs of bears and wolves, peering down holes in the ground to look for entrances to ruins, and for finding ores in rock faces of distant mountains. This is easily my favorite QoL mod to date!

💬 Bruco, Jan 3rd at 2:44 AM

So, I was hoping to use this mod to help me find bees nests and sap/resin. Was wondering would it be lame like telescopes in others mods and games? I make it. I use it. First thing I see is a sap in a vinelog of a tall tree that was indistiguishable to my eye but was right under(above;D) my nose the whole time. Great work !!!

💬 CilyMe, Dec 29th 2023 at 12:42 AM

Would it be possible to add a config option to turn on the ability to have the last used zoom level preserved for the next time you use the spyglass? Sometimes I like it all the way zoomed out, but have to zoom out each time i use it. Not a deal breaker to be sure, I love the mod regardless, but it would be nice to have it at the last set zoom level on each use.

💬 Schmarotzer, Dec 14th 2023 at 4:10 AM

Hello.

Here is the russian translation of the mod.

💬 Tels, Dec 10th 2023 at 2:12 PM

Thank you, my favourite mod just got more awesome! 💚

💬 FuamiAuthor, Dec 9th 2023 at 11:43 PM

Tels Agreed, some how I missed this comment all this time... but no longer!

Botaxalim After considering your comment, and other similar items in the game, I think that removing DamageBy makes sense. Smacking things with laterns dosn't damage them for instance, if for no other reason then being consistent with the rest of the game.

💬 Botaxalim, Nov 27th 2023 at 4:00 PM

i make some edit for personal use, i remove the durability and parameter called DamagedBy, since i dont like idea spyglass destroyed after accidentally left clicking ground (happen when my golden spyglass broke)
its great addition for the game, you can spot more stuff while exploring

💬 RuneScholar, Nov 26th 2023 at 11:44 PM

Yeah, that’s a good start at least. I don’t even really know how VS handles its ruin loot. I’m used to mod-making other games that use the standard loot table. So I’ll look into it. But having the item I.D. is a big help.

💬 FuamiAuthor, Nov 26th 2023 at 10:37 PM

@RuneScholar I'm not familiar with loot tables, but the items themselves should be "spyglass:spyglass-copper" or "spyglass:spytube-copper" replacing copper with the various materials: copper, tinbronze, bismuthbronze, blackbronze, gold, silver, iron, meteoriciron, brass, steel.

Adding those somewhere inside of the tables might make sense?

💬 RuneScholar, Nov 26th 2023 at 5:50 PM

Hey, if I wanted to put spyglasses in the loot tables for ruins, how would I go about doing that?

💬 RuneScholar, Nov 26th 2023 at 5:49 PM

I know this reply is late, but yes it does.

Hello !
I translated your mod in french :)

Seems to work in 1.18.

💬 Tels, Jan 16th 2023 at 10:12 PM

It would be really nice to be able to make a "bismuth" spyglass for the pretty green colors :)

💬 Yuhri, Sep 17th 2022 at 6:54 AM

Hey! the drifters in my server (1.17.2 and 1.17.3) seem to stop moving. The console says ''[server error] Task with code drifterwander (also drifterseekentity and drifterfleeentity) for entity game:drifter(any kind) does not exist. ignoring. Upon removing spyglass, all drifters start moving again.

💬 Tels, Jan 13th 2022 at 12:15 AM

Thank you! :)

💬 FuamiAuthor, Jan 13th 2022 at 12:03 AM

Existing versions should work for 1.16 if you have issues let me know.

💬 Tels, Jan 12th 2022 at 3:01 PM

Could you please update the mod for 1.16? It's such a fun mod :) Thank you!

💬 Tels, Aug 12th 2021 at 7:35 AM

Yeah for steampunk brass spyglass \o/

💬 Xorberax, Aug 3rd 2021 at 4:25 AM

You read my mind! I was looking for a spyglass mod yesterday, and boom, now it exists!

💬 FuamiAuthor, Aug 2nd 2021 at 3:28 PM

Whoops, Sort of forgot to upload the file :D

💬 Tels, Aug 2nd 2021 at 11:11 AM

There are no downloadable files here, tho?
