How to craft
Workebench > Tools
Ingredients:
- 3 Copper Ingot
- 1 Blue Crystal Shard
- 1 Any Tree Log
- 2 Plant Fiber
How to use
While holding the spyglass:
- Right-click to toggle zoom on/off
- Left-click (while zoomed) to increase magnification up to 3x
How it works
Since Hytale is still in beta and there's no server-side FOV control available, this mod achieves zoom by manipulating the camera distance, placing a server camera in front of the player with a negative distance offset.
Compatibility
If you want to use this mod alongside other mods that modify the HUD, you must have MultipleHUD installed.
⚠️⚠️ Known Issues ⚠️⚠️
Due to the camera workaround, you may experience:
- X-ray/clipping through walls in certain situations (especially near blocks or underground)
- Erratic camera behavior when the camera collides with obstacles
I've implemented a raycasting system to detect obstacles and adjust the camera accordingly, which reduces these issues, but it's not a perfect solution. Once Hytale adds proper FOV control, a cleaner and more stable implementation will be possible.
If you encounter any bugs, feel free to report them so I can keep improving the mod!
