Eye Spy makes danger obvious. When a hostile mob locks on to player, it gains a glowing outline and a color that hints at what kind of threat it is. Instead of scanning the dark for movement, you can instantly see what is angry, even through grass, fog, or visual clutter. Glowing colors are applied, so the outline is bright and consistent. The mod runs on the server, and it only activates when the targeted player has Eye Spy enabled.
Press the toggle key (default END) to turn Eye Spy on or off for yourself, and you can change the key in Minecraft’s Controls menu. This is handy for building at night, low vision, exploring caves, raiding structures, or surviving chaotic fights where multiple mobs pile in at once. It also helps on multiplayer servers where everyone can now tell which mobs are currently focused on which player, making it easier to rescue someone, focus fire, or retreat safely.
No new items or blocks. Just clearer information, right when you need it. It doesn’t change mob AI, damage, or loot it simply highlights targets. If you run other team-based mods, Eye-Spy may overwrite teams on servers.
