Telescope Enchantment That Reveals Invisible Players/Mobs

To make the Telescope more useful, give it an enchantment that reveals players and mobs that are invisible.

    You should be able to combine a glowing ink sac with your spyglass to make a night vision spyglass.

    Could be called "Crystal Lens," or "Clarity"

    Mobs can have a special NBT tag to not be seen by this revealing enchantment. Neither can players/entities with Invisibility II.

     

    Edit: Maybe if Invisibility II can counter this enchantment, the NBT tag would be impractical.

    This would be really cool to see in the game and give the telescope more uses! I hope this becomes a feature!

    you should be able to put like a bow or a crossbow in an anvil with the telescope maybe with the enchantment already to give weapons scopes maybe too! but for now that's a very good idea because there could be someone hiding round the corner or make speedruns easier because then you can see endermen and blazes.

    A name I propose for this enchantment is sharp sight and I feel it should work similar to the bell for raid mobs and would apply glow to any thing within a radius that you can see through the telescope and something that could counteract this would be invisibility II/clouding which would make a player or entity invisible and prevent an entity or player from getting the glow effect but would also cause them to have blindness

    a bit too niche, would be nice if it showed mobs with glowing effect

    maybe a detection enchantment that could reveal amethyst geode location by making a beeping noise when one is located. maybe detection could locate ores within a 4 block radius with different noises for different ore types and different levels of detection for a longer radius,more noticeable sound.

    A ridiculously op mechanic that should by no means be added in vanilla: Magnetism, an enchantment that reveals all metal ores like xray (Iron, Gold, Nether Gold, Gilded Blackstone, Copper Ore, Ancient Debris)

    They should go ahead and put this on crossbows, it would be a good way to increase accuracy

    this would give it some more use over optifine

    It should be like every player within 64 blocks would have sort of a circle or white dot or green dot to find em

    great Idea! maybe use the glow ink sac instead of an enchantment

    I love this idea!! But it sounds a bit too far...
    I would love an enchantment, probably called "sight" or something like that... That would help the player to see into the depths of the oceans when you're above the ocean and see a bit brighter in dark areas like the huge caves and would help us to see invisible players partially...

    Sería bueno que el telescopio tuviera algo que potenciaría el enfoque de este con un encantamiento, para así poder observar inclusive que cosas hacen los aldeanos cuando no estás

    Efficiency enchant to see farther.

    Channelling to see the invisible mobs ( channelling is only used on one item and its good to not add a separate enchant for only one item )

    I like these ideas, but mobs having the glow effect through the telescope should be via the enchantment instead of the glow ink sac, because I have an original idea for the glow ink sac + spy glass. Instead, combining the spy glass with a glow ink sac should give any nearby Dropped Items the glowing effect, so you can find your items much easier when you die, because it's pretty hard to find your items sometimes, especially within 5 minutes.

    (Note to feedback site staff, I tried sending this comment before but it got rejected for some reason, I couldn't find my specific idea anywhere, I think someone may have thought it was the same as 1 of the other comments. No 1 else has talked about dropped items. Please understand & hope you are ok with this idea.)

    Good idea! I also posted an idea on using a spyglass as a scope for bows/crossbows. This would make this a good weapon for enchanted combat.

    I feel like that would be slightly overpowered. Maybe only reveal the players/mobs if the crosshair or center of your screen is within a certain radius of the player/mob, and that radius can increase with each level of enchantment.

    Maybe even for to see through blocks

    Maybe it should work like spectral arrows but it doesn't work through blocks? Or maybe it should work through blocks but only if you can see at least 10% of the hitbox.

    This is just tooo OP. The way to balance it is to make it so that the particles that come off of the entities be rendered even at a distance that they would not be. Alongside that the particles would be very pronounced and glow just a tiny bit.

    If one were to use this enchantment they would still have to have a good eye in order to pinpoint the entity, but it would certainly help out quite a lot.

    I agree! There should be more tool enchantments.
