2 Copper Ingots

1 Amethyst Shard

How to craft a Spyglass in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Spyglass

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a spyglass, place 1 amethyst shard and 2 copper ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a spyglass, it is important that the amethyst shard and copper ingots are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 amethyst shard in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 copper ingot in the second box. In the third row, there should be 1 copper ingot in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a spyglass.
