The Telescope Mod adds a telescope to the game which you can use to see distances from further away. When you have the telescope selected you simply right click to look through the telescope, and you can see distances from a far in a circle view as if you where looking through a telescope.
Telescope Mod is great but the down side is if you have a computer that is only capable of rendering on short you will not be able to see further. So this Mod is limited to people who play on higher render distances and can see great builds or mountains from far away. But this is a great yet simple feature that could fit in Minecraft well and give another use for iron and would be a unique item for Minecraft.

- Download & Install Risugami’s Modloader

- Download & unzip Telescope mod.
- Copy all of the *.class files from the unzipped “client” folder into your minecraft.jar.
- If an /imgz/ folder is in the unzipped folder, copy it over to minecraft.jar.
- If you’re running a server: Open the minecraft_server.jar in a program like winrar.

If you’re having problems please reinstall ModLoader. Then make sure you deleted META-INF from minecraft.jar. If that doesn’t work, and you’re sure you reinstalled modloader just now, it could be a blockID or itemID conflict. These mods will automatically create a file in (minecraft folder)modsDJoslin, open that file and change the ID to an unused one.
