## What is Enderman Look Guard?

Enderman Look Guard is a client-side quality-of-life mod for Fabric that prevents one of Minecraft's most common mistakes: accidentally looking an Enderman in the eyes. Instead of snapping your camera away harshly, the mod gently nudges your view direction in the moment before accidental stare would happen — so it feels like protective aim assistance rather than forced camera control.

It does not remove Endermen, change their behavior, alter combat, or touch any server-side mechanics. Endermen remain completely vanilla. The mod only adjusts where you are looking.

## How it works

Each game tick, the mod checks whether your crosshair is drifting toward a nearby Enderman. If it is, it applies a small camera correction  a soft push away from the Enderman's eye line. The effect repeats each tick while the risk condition remains true. This means:

- No sudden snapping or teleporting of your view
- No disruption to your normal movement or aim
- Protection fades naturally the moment you are no longer at risk

Detection checks multiple vertical points on the Enderman's body, not just one spot, so it matches real gameplay well.

## Features

- **Gentle camera nudge** :  soft, repeated correction instead of jarring snaps
- **Configurable detection range** :  set your max distance from 0 (unlimited) to 256 blocks
- **Separate horizontal and vertical sensitivity** :  tune yaw and pitch correction independently
- **Optional HUD indicator** :  shows "Enderman Protection Active" near your crosshair when protection triggers
- **Mod Menu config screen** :  all settings are adjustable in-game with tooltips on every option
- **Immediate save on change** : no need to exit the config screen to apply settings
- **Lightweight and client-side only** :  install on any server, no server-side component needed

Enderman Look Guard

Never anger an Enderman by accident again.

Enderman Look Guard is a client-side Fabric mod that prevents one of Minecraft's most common mistakes: accidentally making eye contact with an Enderman. Instead of snapping your view away harshly, the mod applies a gentle, repeated camera nudge each tick pushing your aim just far enough to avoid the Enderman's line of sight before aggro can trigger.

Endermen remain completely vanilla. Nothing about their behavior, health, or combat is changed. The mod only adjusts where you are looking.

How it works

Each game tick, the mod checks whether your crosshair is drifting toward a nearby Enderman. If it detects a risk:

1. It finds the closest threatening Enderman within your configured range
2. It calculates the exact direction to that Enderman's eyes
3. It applies a small opposite push to your yaw (horizontal) and pitch (vertical)

The nudge repeats each tick while the condition is active, then stops naturally. No snap. No forced camera lock. Just subtle protective aim assistance.

Detection samples multiple vertical points on the Enderman's hitbox for accuracy.

Features

• Gentle camera nudge : soft correction, not jarring snaps
• Configurable detection range (0 = unlimited, up to 256 blocks)
• Independent yaw and pitch correction strength
• Optional HUD message near your crosshair when protection is active
• Full Mod Menu config screen with tooltips on every setting
• Settings save immediately on change : no need to exit the screen
• Lightweight : client-side only, works on any server

Configuration

Config is stored at config/endermanlookguard.json and editable in-game via Mod Menu.

Setting Max Distance to 0 treats range as unlimited (scans up to 256 blocks).

Requirements

• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API
• Mod Menu (optional only needed for the in-game config screen)

What this mod is not

This is not a cheat, combat assistant, or mob-disabling tool. Endermen are never frozen, killed, or altered in any way. It is a pure accessibility and quality-of-life aid that reduces accidental input mistakes.
