Akashic Goggles
by jbredwards
Akashic Goggles, a Forge equipment mod for 1.12.2, adds a single goggles slot that stores one item at a time and shows its tooltip while worn.
What it does
Akashic Goggles is inspired by Akashic Tome and works on the same idea: a worn pair of goggles holds one item, and the stored item renders in the tooltip. Right-clicking removes the most recently stored item, and crouching while right-clicking extracts it. Items that the mod's config blacklists cannot be stored. Because the goggles hold one item instead of filling the inventory, they suit large modpacks where several mods each add their own goggles.
The goggles are always active while worn, and the mod provides configurable Baubles support, so the piece can sit in a Baubles slot. Built-in support for many mods makes it simple for other mods to add their own compatibility. Several modded pieces of eyewear are denoted by an orange color. Players who swap between Akashic Tome and Akashic Goggles need to exchange the items in their inventory, since the two do not share a slot.
The mod requires AutoRegLib and is released under a custom license that is not open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Forge on 1.12.2, and the latest is 1.0.3, dated 2026-06-26.
Key features
Stored item display
A worn goggles piece shows the item it holds in the item tooltip, so the stored item stays visible without opening a screen.
Extract and remove
Right-clicking removes the most recently stored item, and crouching while right-clicking extracts it back into the inventory.
Config blacklist
Items listed in the mod's config cannot be stored in the goggles, which lets server owners limit what the piece accepts.
Command tree
An akashic goggles command tree contains utilities for the goggles, and running akashic goggles help in-game lists its sub-commands.

What the author says
The only item this mod adds is the Akashic Goggles, crafted as such. Akashic Goggles are meant to be used in large modpacks where several mods add their own goggles. Instead of cluttering your inventory, or being limited to only wearing one at a time, you can hold them all in one item.
