Shades
by UCYT5040
Shades is a Fabric equipment mod that adds wearable sunglasses for players and armor stands.
What it does
Shades adds wearable sunglasses that are craftable from two sticks and two tinted glass blocks. Wearing them grants night vision, and a helmet can be repaired at an anvil with tinted glass. Armor stands can wear the shades as well, and when one is near a jukebox playing a music disc, it dances to the beat, with the tempo read from the disc's BPM and a default of 120 for other discs. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.11. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
