Oculus of Silence
by 3lbash3
Oculus of Silence is a Forge artifact that repels hostile mobs from its wielder for a short time when activated with a right-click.
What it does
Activating the artifact sends a silent wave outward that pushes hostile mobs within a 6-block radius away from the player in real time. The effect lasts 30 seconds, after which a 60-second cooldown must pass before the artifact can be used again. A countdown on screen shows the remaining seconds, and its color moves from green to yellow to red as the time runs out.
The artifact is intended for survival play, where it offers a brief window of safety rather than permanent protection, and it is described by its author as balanced and lightweight. It is held in the hand and used through the normal right-click action. The mod runs on Forge and needs both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-02-24. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Right-click activation
A single right-click on the held artifact starts the repelling effect, with no menu or command involved.
Directional knockback
Hostile mobs inside the 6-block radius are pushed continuously away from the player for the full duration.
Timed effect and cooldown
The effect lasts 30 seconds and the artifact then recharges for 60 seconds before it can be used again.
On-screen countdown
A visible timer shows seconds remaining, changing color from green to yellow to red as the effect nears its end.

Use cases
Escaping a crowd of mobs
A player surrounded at night can trigger the artifact to create space and retreat during the 30-second window.
Short safe pauses
The cooldown and limited duration make it a tool for brief recovery, such as healing or building a shelter.
Who it’s for: Players who want a limited-use defensive artifact in survival play, and server owners who want an item that does not give players a permanent advantage.
