Enderman Look Guard
by Xeonz
Enderman Look Guard is a Fabric mod that runs only on the client and keeps the camera from drifting into an Enderman's line of sight, so the aggro trigger is not reached by accident.
What it does
The mod checks every game tick whether the crosshair is drifting toward a nearby Enderman. It finds the closest threatening Enderman within the configured range, calculates the exact direction of its eyes, and applies a small opposite push to yaw and pitch. The nudge repeats each tick while the risky condition holds and stops on its own once the aim is clear, so the correction stays soft rather than snapping the view away.
Detection samples several vertical points across the Enderman's hitbox for accuracy. The detection range is configurable from 0 to 256 blocks, where 0 means unlimited scanning up to 256 blocks, and yaw and pitch correction strength can be set independently. An optional HUD message near the crosshair can show when protection is active, and a full Mod Menu config screen with tooltips exposes these settings. Enderman Look Guard runs on Fabric 1.21.9 – 1.21.11 and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Only the client needs it, so players install the mod and servers run without it. Endermen stay completely vanilla: their behavior, health and combat are unchanged, and the mod only adjusts where the player is looking.
Key features
Gentle camera nudge
Before eye contact happens, the camera moves away in small steps instead of a jarring snap.
Configurable detection range
The scan distance can be set from 0 to 256 blocks, with 0 meaning unlimited within that cap.
Independent correction strength
Yaw and pitch correction each have their own strength setting, so either axis can be tuned alone.
Optional HUD indicator
A message near the crosshair shows that protection is active, and it can be turned off.
