Ender Eye Disabler
by craytex2
Ender Eye Disabler stops players from using Eyes of Ender on portals, while leaving the item craftable.
What it does
Ender Eye Disabler blocks the use of Eyes of Ender. A player cannot throw one or insert one into a portal frame, and the mod does not stop the item from being crafted or obtained. A denial message can be sent to the player who tries to insert an eye, and the mod can be toggled through a command. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything.
The mod has two config options. The eyeUseDisabled option defaults to true and turns off eye use; the denialMessage option sets the text shown when a player tries to insert an eye. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.21.5, dated 2025-04-20. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It has no required dependencies.
Key features
Eye use disabled
Eyes of Ender cannot be thrown or inserted into a portal, so the item stops working as a way to locate strongholds.
Crafting still allowed
Unlike mods that remove the eye from obtainable items, the recipe and the item stay available.
Toggle command
A toggleeye command switches the eye functionality on or off without editing the config file.
Denial message
A configurable message is sent to a player who tries to insert an eye into a portal, which can explain why it is disabled.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Lore-driven servers
Server owners who want to remove the stronghold route can keep the eye as a crafted item while disabling its use.
Progression changes
A server can point players toward other ways of finding the End, with the denial message stating the reason for the change.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want Eyes of Ender to stay craftable but unusable on portals, and who want to tell players why.
How it compares
One eye stronghold finder is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and it is open source. ToastBegone is also client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.20 – 1.21.1. Ender Eye Disabler differs from both because it runs on the server only and covers 1.21.5, and its source is not published.
