WhoIsLooking
by wolfifurr
WhoIsLooking is a Fabric utility that tracks whether an entity is looking at the player, using a configurable field of view and a looking meter.
What it does
Entities that look at the player are detected inside a field of view. The field has a first, yellow eye zone that covers the side view a player can barely see, and a second, red eye zone where the entity is clearly looking. Each zone can be set up through the mod's customizable settings.
The mod works only with players. A looking meter fills while an entity stays in the field, and with default settings any entity inside the field gets alerted. Two alert modes control how that alert is raised, so a player can choose how strict the detection is. Some features work only on early versions of the mod.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it. Installation requires Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric alone, with 1.0.3.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest build. The code is under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.

Showing how the view cone works

Who it’s for: Players who want an entity-watching mechanic in single-player or on a client, and anyone interested in how a view cone is calculated.
