Spyglass:OneClickZoom
OneClickZoom lets a player cycle through several zoom levels with a single key press while looking through a spyglass.
What it does
Holding a spyglass in vanilla gives one fixed zoom. With OneClickZoom installed, a dedicated key steps through a list of zoom levels, from wide-angle views to high magnification, and a left click does the same while the player is looking through the spyglass. The key that changes zoom can be rebound in the controls menu, and the zoom levels in the cycle can be set in the configuration.
Only the player's client needs the mod, because it changes how the spyglass view is handled on the client alone. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and the code is released under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Single-key zoom cycling
One press of the Cycle Zoom key moves to the next zoom level while the spyglass is in use.
Left click to step zoom
While looking through the spyglass, a left click steps through the configured zoom levels in order.
Zoom HUD display
A heads-up display always shows the current zoom level, so the player knows which step is active.

How it compares
Spyglass key is a Fabric-only, client-side mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it does not cover Forge or NeoForge. Useful Spyglass is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, runs on client and server, and covers 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 on all three loaders.
