Change The Spyglass Overlay To A Square

I love the new idea of a Spyglass. However, looking through it doesn't currently fit the theme of the game.

What I Mean: As of Snapshot 20w30a, when you use the Spyglass item, a black overlay obscures most of the screen. However, a hole in the center allows the player to see with magnified vision.

The Problem is that this hole is currently a jagged circle. A circle, even a blocky one, doesn't make much sense in the cube-filled world we know and love.

What Mojang Should Do is change the hole you look through into a square shape. It fits better into the world of Minecraft, and slightly increases the amount a player can view. This also helps avoid the spyglass being mistaken for a scope on a gun. It's a simple visual change, but in a game like this, the small details can change everything.

    They did this already. But yeah, it was a thing I hoped for too and many other people probably.

    I don't like it being a cube. I think a circle is better.
