Better use for telescopes

The telescopes as of now serve only as a way of zooming in to take a better look at something from a long distance. Even though its pretty cool and will serve nicely for players that don't use the widely known optifine zoom feature - i think the telescope should have one more important function that would make it a lot more useful and would make it worth to seek crystals for.

My suggestion is to make telescopes show all the important information about the mob you are zooming at. For example - if you zoom on a pig - it would show its hp, as well as possible drops from it. It would also show whether the mob is passive, neutral or aggressive.

For new players - it could be a fun and easy way to discover ways of obtaining items and would also prevent them from trying dangerous things like wanting to pet a ravager ;).

For more experienced players - this feature would help them determine the hp of a mob. An a example of a situation where this feature would be very useful is when the player is trying to transport a villager. If it gets hurt in the process - the player can determine whether they should use a health potion or not. The telescope could save many innocent villager lives as well as a lot of player's frustration.

Let me know what you think of this suggestion - I really hope it makes it into the 1.17 update!

    It's an interesting idea and could make for more strategic uses of the telescope. But at the same time that's not how an actual telescope works. I'm unsure about this.
