Dead Eye
by Namefix
Dead Eye adds a time-slowing aim mode, based on the one in the Red Dead Redemption series, that lets players mark targets and fire quickly.
What it does
While the effect is active, time slows and a player can mark shooting targets, then fire at the marked points in quick succession with high accuracy. The mod was formerly published as Deadeye Mod and is described as a close reproduction of the original Dead Eye mechanic. Bows and crossbows can be used with the effect, and several gun mods are supported as weapons.
Consumables such as cigars and tonics restore the Dead Eye meter. Reloading a weapon becomes instant while the effect is enabled. Many config options let server owners and players adjust how the effect behaves.
The mod needs Architectury API and Resourceful Config on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.
Key features

How it compares
Eye Crushing Additions is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Only the server needs it, and clients can join without installing it. Night Eye is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric 1.20.6 – 1.21 only, so it does not cover the same versions as Dead Eye.
