That's right. Telescopes. In. Minecraft. What do you think?
Uses:
For SMP:
The most obvious use would be for spotting other players' names, skins, or even just them, far away.
Another thing to do is maybe it could be used for is to see other player's creations, far away.
More soon!
For Both SMP and Single-Player!
Making a safe path: A bit far from your base at night? Have to navigate home? Don't want to temporarily switch to peaceful? Have no fear, the Telescope is here! Just make a tower, pull your telescope out, and spot monsters, in your mind, make a track around them, and arrive at your base unharmed!
The most obvious use: See far distances: Set render distance to Far but want to see more? Use the telescope. This could be used to see things that normally you wouldn't see, I think.
Crafting:
Crafting it would look like this:
(sorry about the very unminecrafty looking telescope)
Anyway, that would create a telescope that could be zoomed in, and zoomed out, of, with the "w" key being zoom in, and the "s" key being zoom out.
Support the Idea!
Signatures and Badges coming soon. Not to mention a much more informative, polished post.

Quote from Acetyl »
I just had an idea the other day while scouting from atop a mountain, and discovering that even when set to far, the render distance was sometimes still a bit lacking. So perhaps implement a new craftable item that will focus in where you're looking (independent of where you have render distance. Maybe works by just moving where the engine places the camera, idk.) The recipe would be as follows:

opinions on this? It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to put in.
I don't mean to say that they're bad, but I thought that this idea deserves some more detail, which I provided. When I said November 2010, I meant that was when the last detailed post on it was then. Detailed meaning images. I might add a gold spyglass as well.
Sorry for misconfusion, but when I say telescope I mean spyglass.

I wish I was in this :C
I like the idea of a stationary telescope, but I'd prefer a spyglass, personally. You could use it as a tool, right click to zoom in?
Okay. Here are the posts you refer to:
