Zoomglass
by werdei
Zoomglass lets players use a spyglass quickly with a press of a button, without holding the item in hand.
What it does
A press of a configured key brings up the spyglass view at once, so players who like the zoom but dislike the roleplay of holding the item can keep the convenience. The mod changes nothing on the server, and only the client needs it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, for 30 release versions, 1.18 – 26.1.2, and the latest file, 1.7, targets 26.1.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
One-press spyglass
A single key press activates the spyglass zoom without first selecting the item in the hand.
Convenience without the item
The zoom works as a quick shortcut, so the spyglass need not be carried in the hotbar to be used.
Creative and spectator use
The zoom is available in Creative and Spectator modes, where the spyglass is not in the inventory.

What the author says
A Fabric mod that quickly puts a spyglass into your hand with a press of a button. Made for people who prefer roleplaying aspects of a spyglass but don't want to miss out on convenience! Additionally, you can use a fake spyglass while in Spectator gamemode, or in Creative when you don't have it in your inventory.
