Red Eyes
With Red Eyes, a player's character gets a glowing eye effect that can be set per eye, including left-only, right-only and heterochromia.
What it does
Red Eyes is a cosmetic Forge mod that puts a glow on the player character's eyes. Each eye can take its own colour, so one eye may glow red while the other shows a different shade. Eye settings are changed with an in-game command rather than a menu, and the effect is applied to the player model.
Colour can be picked from two built-in presets or customised in full through HEX, RGB, Hue and Saturation values. Two eye styles are available, a solid fill and an inner gradient. The mod also includes Steve Anime character styles for the eyes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for six game versions: 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
