Better Ender Eye Recipe changes the crafting recipe for the Eye of Ender so that it uses Amethyst Shards, Magma Cream, Prismarine Crystals and other items in place of the vanilla ingredients.

What it does

Crafting an Eye of Ender with the default recipe is replaced by a new arrangement. The recipe still needs an Ender Pearl and Blaze Powder, but the other ingredients are swapped, and the shape is laid out differently from the vanilla grid. The author describes the result as a little harder than the original, which suits players who find the standard recipe too quick to reach.

The mod is aimed at survival players who want a slower progression, and at server owners who run a datapack-based setup. Since version 1.2.0 the old Eye of Ender recipe is removed when the mod is installed, so no separate datapack is needed to switch recipes. Server owners who run a paid or buyable server can use the datapack form to tune the recipe on their own terms.

Only the server needs Better Ender Eye Recipe; players can join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1, and the mod is released under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, which is not open source.
