Spyglass tell you about the block you look at (for new players)

Minecraft has so many blocks, items and mechanics that new players or players that didn't pay attention in the last years can't understand the game without hopping every time to the minecraft wiki. I have some ideas to fix it:

1. New use for spyglass - When looking on any block \ item \ mob with a spyglass it will give a short summery of what it uses for (and perhaps some lore). That functionality can be disabled in the options menu.

2. /instructions - by typing the command /instructions you will get short instructions of the game's most basic mechanics (walking , crafting , mining...)

3. Tutorial mode - When creating a world in tutorial mode you will spawn with a spyglass and an instruction book (similar content to /instructions) and you will find those items in every natural generating chest (if you don't know how to get a spyglass)

    Sounds great! I could totally see people using this. Another effect of this might be that if you are in a dark area (like a deepslate cave, for example) and you are trying to see whether a block is an ore or not, you could use the spyglass to tell you, which would be useful if you are out of torches or too far away to tell otherwise. The only thing about this is the /instructions, as these are available in the settings screen for Bedrock. However, if this is different in Java, then I do agree that this command should be added.
