Structure Eyes
by Icywhenhot
Structure Eyes lets a thrown Eye of Ender point at any structure the player chooses, including modded dungeons, villages and fortresses.
What it does
Structure Eyes turns the Eye of Ender into an item that locates a configured structure. A player throws it and the flying eye shows the item's own texture, following the same flight arc and drop behavior as the vanilla Eye of Ender. Each eye can be pointed at a single structure, at a whole group through a structure tag, or at a structure in another dimension, such as the Nether, the End or a modded dimension. Using an eye in a dimension where its target does not exist gives a short hint rather than silence.
Setup can be done through an in-game config menu opened from the Mods screen, through datapack JSON files for advanced control, or by editing a single config file. Edits take effect on reload, so the game does not need to be relaunched. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, for game versions 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

What the author says
Turn any item into an Eye of Ender for any structure. Structure Eyes lets you assign an item — vanilla or modded — to point toward a structure of your choice. Right-click the item and it launches like a vanilla Eye of Ender: it floats toward the nearest matching structure, hovers, and drops, giving players the…
