You can attach the spyglass to a crossbow

The spyglass isn’t that useful at the moment. It could be more useful and worth crafting if you attach it to a crossbow, allowing it do be aimed easier.

    You would need a separate button to zoom in for it to work however. I agree with you that it doesn't have much use at the moment. I personally think it should be attachable to helmets through smithing tables. That way you would just have to hit the button whenever you need to zoom.

    I haven't used crossbows since the first time they came out, this would actually give me a reason to use the crossbow over the bow in some situations.

    I think this would be really cool!! It would give you a new way to strategize fighting other players and mobs

    I think this should be a feature, but instead of attaching a spyglass to a crossbow, the player should just have to have a spyglass in one hand slot and a crossbow in the other. I think it should work this way since it doesn't require the need to add a completely new item to the game, and it feels much more natural and minecraft-y than a "scoped crossbow".

    Rmb would still wind up the crossbow, and once it is wound pressing rmb again would aim.

    It could be called a spybow

    to balance it you shouldn't be allowed to use the quick charge enchantment

    I think you should also be able to attach it to a normal bow. You could snipe mobs and players without having to click twice

    I’d love it on the crossbow and have it exclusive to it. Bows wouldn’t make sense anyway because scoped crossbows are a thing while you’d need two hands on a bow, and you hold the bow vertically unlike a crossbow. And it’d add more use for the crossbow and make them more worth having alongside or even over a bow in some cases.

    not only would this give more use to both the crossbow and spyglass, but it could also give some functionality to the fletching table. I don't see why mojang hasn't added this already.

    I think this spy bow can be very useful to view the area and help you shoot a direct shot at enemies mobs.

    Scoped crossbow: more powerful, one-shot most mobs with headshot. ranged reticle, longer draw time, no quickdraw, +power enchant, + explosive shot enchant, no multishot, no rocket.

    Another variant: repeating crossbow, crossbow+redstone+lever; automatic and quick reload, nerfs can be thought out. Maybe no quickdraw, or maybe less power.

    Add copper dagger, smithing table to upgrade, high attack speed, lower end of damage scale. can be made into dagger pair for dual wield, but cannot upgrade pair, only enchant.

    Add specialty swords acquired through expensive crafting table variant. No offhand when equipped. Add spears through same variant of crafting table, offhand shield.

    please add this
    It should automatically zoom in once the crossbow is charged, and if it's charged and shaped to, it'll take 0.5 second to zoom back in
