Blindsense
by jarodbloch
Blindsense removes sight from Minecraft, so players navigate the world through simulated touch and memory instead of the screen.
What it does
A challenge mod built on the removal of sight. The screen goes fully black and the player has to find their way around the world with other senses. Touching a block or mob with the crosshair sweeps out its shape, and the mod has no other way to show the surroundings. It runs on the client, and it can also use some server-side enhancements when a server has it installed. Only Fabric is supported, with a single build for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Feel surroundings
Sweeping the crosshair over blocks and mobs lets the player feel their shape instead of seeing them.
Memory map
Blocks briefly appear as a greyscale wireframe before fading, which helps the player build a mental map of a room.
Live memories
Blocks stay tied to the world, so a door someone else opens shows as a ghost image that remains unchanged.

What the author says
Blindsense is a challenge mod, created out of a distain for the current "blind" condition for "blind/deaf/mute" challenges, that completely removes your sight and forces you to rely on a simulated sense of touch to survive. This mod is client-side with some enhancements when used server-side too.
