Stick A Needle In Your Eye
by AussieBox
On a Fabric client, Stick A Needle In Your Eye overlays user-chosen pictures across the screen at irregular timing once its configured conditions are satisfied.
What it does
The mod is inspired by lobotomy memes that circulated online in late 2024 and early 2025. It contains two triggers that cause the player to be lobotomized on screen, and each trigger can be adjusted in the config, including toggles and configurable chances for a trigger to pass. Because the flashing images can cause epileptic seizures, the description warns players accordingly.
Images are chosen by the player: custom images can be added by linking the full file path of each texture, and textures can also be supplied through resource packs. Only the client needs the mod, so players can use it on single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers without any server-side installation. Stick A Needle In Your Eye requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and can use Mod Menu for its settings screen. The project is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, with builds for 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, and the latest file for 1.21.11 was released on 2026-01-31.
