Glasses
Glasses gives players a dedicated glasses slot, where worn glasses add visible effects and several types with special features.
What it does
Glasses adds a set of glasses to the game and a glasses slot that sits alongside the vanilla head slot, so a player can wear a pair without giving up a helmet. Several types exist, and some of them have their own behavior: a monocular, for example, works like a spyglass, and sunglasses prevent endermen from being provoked by a player who looks at them.
Each glasses type is set through a configuration file located at config/glasses/xxx.json inside the Minecraft directory, so server owners and modpack authors can change the entries. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, and it needs Curios API on Forge or Trinkets on Fabric to provide the slot. Both dependencies are optional in the listing, but the slot does not appear without one of them.
Glasses runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.20.2-1.2.1 as the latest build for Fabric and Forge. The code is not open source and is distributed under a custom license.
Key features
Glasses slot
A separate slot holds worn glasses beside the vanilla head slot, leaving helmets in place.
Several glasses types
The mod includes multiple glasses, each with its own appearance, and players can wear a pair at a time.
Special glasses effects
Sunglasses stop endermen from being provoked by a player who looks at them, and a monocular works like a spyglass.
JSON configuration
Each glasses entry is defined in a file under config/glasses, so the set can be adjusted without editing code.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want visible equipment and utility items for 1.20 – 1.20.2, and modpack authors who need a glasses slot on Fabric or Forge. Servers that run it need the same dependency as players, either Curios API or Trinkets.
How it compares
Trinkets is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, which is not open source, and it is the accessory system Glasses can use on Forge. Stereopsis is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.21.3 that is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it adds no server requirement. MyHat (Trinkets) is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, not open source, and it depends on the accessory system Glasses also uses.
