Occipital Metonymy
by hama
Occipital Metonymy is a Fabric magic mod built around the Thetiscope, a viewer-like artifact that changes its behavior depending on which disk is loaded into it.
What it does
The Thetiscope works like a View-Master style device: a disk is inserted, and the view it shows shifts with the disk. Each disk alters how the world looks through the device, and the artifact's effects are tied to the disk currently loaded. Disks are read from their notched edges and printed text, and the mod leans on odd, unsettling descriptions in place of ordinary instructions.
The mod was created during ModFest, following a toy-making theme: the Modrinth page was to make one toy, and the Thetiscope is the result. It runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 only, and both the server and every player need it, since the effects act on the world and the player's view alike. Fabric API is required, and Dominoes is an optional companion. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project is published on Fabric files for 1.21.8, with the latest file dated 2025-09-24.
Key features
Thetiscope artifact
A viewer-like device whose effect changes with the disk loaded into it, forming the core of the mod.
Disk-driven behavior
Each disk alters the device's output, so the same artifact can show different effects depending on the disk chosen.
Unusual item design
Disks carry a title in quotes, a notched edge and two lines of text, and the Thetiscope is described as a foreign object.
Puzzle-like experimentation
Loading disks and comparing what the device does is meant to be learned by testing, not by a written list of effects.
