Don't Break My Ender Eyes

Vanilla Minecraft has a chance for a thrown Eye of Ender to break when it is used. With this mod, a thrown eye never breaks: it drops as an item instead of shattering. The change applies to thrown eyes only, so the rest of the crafting and stronghold-finding flow works as before. The mod is open source under the MIT License and needs Fabric API on both loaders, Fabric and NeoForge. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

A single config value sets the shatter chance. The default keeps the thrown eyes unbreakable, but the value can be raised back toward the vanilla 20% chance, or set to always break, for players who want the original difficulty. Changes can be made in-game: open the mods list, click Config, and adjust the one slider. Changes apply immediately without a restart. Mod Menu is optional and only adds the entry point for that screen.

Files are published for 26.3 on both loaders, with Java 25 required for the 26.x line. Builds cover 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file for each loader is 1.1.4.1 for 26.3, published 2026-10-08. The mod was first published on 2026-09-07. The source code and issue tracker are public.
