Blinkable Eye
Blinkable Eye is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21 that adds an animated eye block, a chisel tool, a helmet and crafting recipes that link eyes to emeralds and diamonds.
What it does
Players craft the eye items from a crafting table, and the mod adds an animated Blinking Eye block that is visually distinct from ordinary blocks. Nine Blinking Eye items combine into one block, and one item trades for eight emeralds. Throwing a Blinking Eye item at the animated block can produce a diamond, so the mod ties its decorative content to a simple resource loop.
The chisel is a custom tool with its own function, made from one Blinking Eye item and two sticks. The helmet is crafted from five Blinking Eye items, and a player wearing it appears to be looking out of a blinking eye. The mod also ships a generator that produces the recipes, models and similar files the content needs. Client and server must both run the mod, so every player on a server running it also needs it.
