So when you kill an enderman you sometimes get a herpderpearl enderpearl.
And atm (according to prerelease (I KNOW ITS PRE RELEASE THEREFORE UNFINISHED) these enderpearls do nothing.
So, I figured they could be used to make telescopes:
Heres the recipe:
= Pearl
= gold
= Telescope!
Telescopes increase your zoom (by 200%?) and give you 'black scope borders' when rightclicked
Also, if you replaced the glass at the left with an enderpearl, perhaps you could make a telescope that has a more powerful zoom effect but the 'black scope border' is larger (giving you less field of view?)
I kinda fail to see what a telescope would be useful for.
Besides looking far into the distance from the safety of your own home, not much. Now that you mention it, what good is a compass when maps are so much better?
I kinda fail to see what a telescope would be useful for.
With a render distance of Far, there are various things that you may want to be able to see from far away that may be difficult to spot otherwise, like surface ores in mountains or mobs.
Maybe it could also allow for limited Night/cave-vision? I think that would make them a bit more useful. :33
See further? Because that would mean it would have to produce many many far away chunks, making rendering hard.
See the stars? It might be cool, but whats the point.
I thought telescopes would be a great idea, especially for 'challenge' maps (i needed one of these majiggers countless times in Vech's "Canopy Carnage" )
Also, perhaps one would climb a mountain and use the telescope to see far off into the distance and look for something he needs? (Aka surfuce ores, mushrooms (fo' stew), lava/water streams, trees (perhaps all the trees in your area have been felled?), cacti, reeds, flat land/special terrain)

I agree, but nothing worth killing an enderman over.
