20 20 20
20 20 20 is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that reminds players to take short breaks to reduce eye strain.
What it does
Players who sit at the screen for long sessions can set the mod to show periodic reminders to look away briefly and rest their eyes. The reminder timing and related behavior can be adjusted in the settings, which are exposed through OneConfig, a configuration library bundled inside the mod so no separate install is needed.
The mod is a fork of Sk1er's original 20 20 20 utility, with an improved configuration screen and fixes for GUI elements that were partially off screen. It works alongside the custom color support GUI, and it is published only for Forge on 1.8.9, with version 2.1.0 as the latest file released 2024-06-29.
Because it runs on the client alone, only the player needs to install it, and servers do not have to run anything. The code is open source under the MIT License, so anyone may reuse it within the terms of that license.

Desk-based play
Players who keep the game open on a computer for extended periods can rely on the prompts instead of tracking time themselves.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge who want a reminder to rest their eyes during long sessions. It is a client-side tool, so it is relevant to individual players rather than server owners.
