CustomSpyglassMagnificationOverlay
by KSmc's Team
CustomSpyglassMagnificationOverlay changes the zoom overlay shown when a player looks through a spyglass, with options for its style.
What it does
Looking through a spyglass shows a magnification overlay, and this Forge mod lets players customize how that overlay looks. The changes are client-side only, so only the player's own client needs the mod and a server can run without it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code on GitHub. Files are published for Forge, for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0 as the latest file from 2025-01-13.
Key features
Overlay zoom style
The spyglass overlay can be adjusted in style, so the zoom view matches the look a player wants.
Command-based configuration
The overlay style is changed with the csms-config command followed by a mode setting, with no restart needed.
Four overlay modes
Four modes are available, and the selected one is saved in a csms-config.json file in the config folder.
