EyeSpy
by KlooDoh
EyeSpy outlines hostile mobs that have targeted the player in a colour that shows what kind of threat they pose, so danger can be read at a glance.
What it does
When a hostile mob locks onto the player, EyeSpy gives it a glowing outline. The colour follows the mob's threat category, so a player can tell a zombie from a pillager or a ravager without stopping to look. The outline is applied only to mobs that are targeting the player, which keeps the rest of the scene unchanged. Instead of scanning dark corners for movement, the player sees which mobs are angry as soon as they become a danger.
The mod is handy at night, when visibility is low, and while exploring caves, raiding structures or surviving fights where several mobs pile in at once. On multiplayer servers, players who share a view of the same targeted mob can see whether everyone is focused on one player, which makes a rescue easier to coordinate or a safe retreat easier to call. EyeSpy runs on the client side only: it needs to be installed by each player, and the server does not need it.
The mod is published for Fabric alone, with a single game version: 1.21.11. The latest file is 1.0.2 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-01-01. It does not change mob AI, damage or loot; it only highlights targets. EyeSpy is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Threat-coloured outlines
A hostile mob that is targeting the player glows in a colour chosen by its threat group, so the danger is visible from a distance.
Targeting only
Only mobs locked onto the player receive the outline, so ordinary mobs and passive creatures are left as they are.
Toggle key
The default key END turns EyeSpy off for the player, and the key can be changed in Minecraft's Controls menu.
Occluded threats
Outlines override line of sight, so a mob that is targeting the player stays marked even when blocked from view.

What the author says
Eye Spy makes danger obvious. When a hostile mob locks on to player, it gains a glowing outline and a color that hints at what kind of threat it is. Instead of scanning the dark for movement, you can instantly see what is angry, even through grass, fog, or visual clutter. Glowing colors are applied, so the outline is…
