Eye Spy

Server-side Minecraft mod that expands upon the Spyglass functionality.

Ping

Players can ping blocks and entities by pressing the 'Swap Item With Offhand' keybind, default F. They can also double press the key to trigger a flashing red hazard ping.

1.3.0+: Pings can now display a description of the target, with the same information as the rangefinder.

Client Install

1.2.0+: Players can install Eye Spy locally in order to gain a client-side keybind for the ping feature, as well as to regain the swap hand functionality with the spyglass.

For more information, see Ping.

Rangefinder

When a spyglass is zoomed in, the player can now see the distance to the target, as well as the names of any mobs or blocks hovered over.

For more information, see Rangefinder.

Config

Eye Spy's config is stored in a JSON5 file under your config folder.

Editing via command

Server Operators can change config settings using the /eyespy command.

Editing via text editor

Server administrators can change the config file with a text editor of their choice; changes will be watched and reloaded while the server is running.
