EyeModPhone
by Podloot
EyeModPhone puts a working smartphone into the game, with messaging, mini-games, a camera and a set of utility apps for players on a server.
What it does
The phone is a realistic smartphone item that players carry in the world. Its apps cover chat with other players, mini-games, photo capture and editing for in-game pictures, a map, notes, and shops and spawn points that server owners can set up. Most of the mod's behavior is tuned in a config file that lives in the config folder of the game or server directory, and almost every part of the phone can be adjusted there.
Each app has a mod ID built from the mod's name and the app's display name, such as eyemod:maps for the Maps app. Shops are disabled by default and are enabled with allowShopApps set to true, which makes the Food Shop and Util Shop apps available. The Spawn app lists predefined teleport destinations such as a spawn hub, a nether portal or an end gateway, and allowSpawns lets players use them. Home teleportation is off by default and is switched on with allowHome, so players can set a personal home location.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it. The server can control which apps are available through an access list, disable cheat-tagged apps once disableCheatApps is true, and set app prices the same way it sets access levels. Phone data is stored in NBT, and each phone has a character limit that helps keep the mod efficient. Forge is the only loader with files, for 11 release versions 1.16.5 – 1.20.6, with 3.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
