📋 About This Mod
# Shield API Shield API allows mod authors to easily add shields with custom models. Read the (https://github.com/FabricExtras/ShieldAPI/blob/main/README.md) for information about how to use this API.
Spyglass Zoom Slot is a lightweight NeoForge mod that adds a dedicated equipment slot using the Curios API. Place a spyglass into this slot, and you'll be able to zoom in at any time by pressing the Z key no need to hold the spyglass in your hand. This mod is perfect for explorers, builders, and anyone who wants quick, hands-free zoom functionality without cluttering their hotbar. How it Works Requires: Curios API (installed separately) Adds a new "Spyglass" slot to your Curios inventory screen Place any spyglass (vanilla or modded) into this slot Press Z (default) to zoom works like using a spyglass, but without holding it The zoom level is fixed (same as vanilla spyglass) and works from any hotbar slot or even an empty hand The slot only accepts items that are spyglasses or tagged as curios:spyglass for mod compatibility.
