About this Mod
Adds an enchantment named "Magnification", which can be applied to a spyglass using an anvil.
The enchant comes in three levels, each increasing the spyglass's zoom.
| Enchant | Zoom |
|---|---|
| None | x10 |
| Mag. I | x24 |
| Mag. II | x64 |
| Mag. III | x160 |
This helps you to see distant objects with detail.
The vanilla spyglass zoom is x10, though this varies depending on your FOV settings.
Obtaining
The Magnification enchantment can not be obtained using an enchantment table.
It can be found in any structure with enchanted books such as a stronghold. You can also get it through villager trading.
