Eyemod

This mod adds a working, realistic phone to minecraft. You can message your friends, play games, take and edit pictures and much more. It provides a wide range of functionalities, while some are more tailored towards a server, most apps can also be quite useful in singleplayer.

The 1.20+ version removes the OP apps from the app selection, such as the TNT app. This makes it a bit safer to install the mod on your server, without having to worry about players griefing the server if you did not change the config correctly. Those apps will come back on a later date, as a seperate mod.

Keep a Powerbank in your inventory to extent the battery duration!

Config

Before playing the mod, there might be some settings your want to change to make it work for your server, or singleplayer world. To change the config, go to your local .minecraft folder (or your server directory if you have it installed on your server) and find the eyemod-config file in the config folder.

Server

You might want to install this mod on your server, that is possible. Read the config section to see what you can change to make this mod work for your server. Additionally, there are some things that are good to know if you are the owner, or an operator on the server.

💡 Tip: Keep a Powerbank in your inventory to extend your battery life!

✨ Features

• 💬 Messaging — Chat with other players directly through the phone
• 🎮 Mini-games — Play games right on your EyePhone
• 📸 Camera & Photo Editing — Take and edit in-game pictures
• 🗺️ Maps, Notes, Shops, Spawns — A full suite of utility apps
• ⚙️ Highly configurable — Tailor almost everything to your server or world

1.20+ Note: OP/cheat apps (like the TNT app) have been removed from the default app selection to make server installs safer out of the box. These will return as a separate companion mod in a future update.

⚙️ Configuration

The config file lives in your .minecraft/config/ folder (or your server directory). Most of the mod's behavior can be tweaked there.

App IDs

Many config options require an app ID, which follows this format:

<modid>:<appname>

The mod ID is eyemod, and the app name is usually the app's display name with spaces replaced by underscores. For example, the Maps app ID is eyemod:maps.

💡 Pro tip: Run /data get entity @p SelectedItem while holding an EyePhone to inspect all installed app IDs directly from the NBT data.

🛒 Shops

Shops are disabled by default. To enable them:

1. Open your config file
2. Set allowShopApps to true

This unlocks the Food Shop and Util Shop apps on the EyePhone. You can customize the items sold in each shop via the foodShop and utilShop lists, and change the accepted currency using the currency property (default: Emeralds).

🏠 Spawn Locations

The Spawn app lets you list predefined teleport destinations — perfect for a spawn hub, nether portal, or end gateway. Add them in the config like this:

["Spawn=1/2/3/minecraft:overworld", "Nether=1/2/3/minecraft:the_nether"]

Players can also set a personal Home location. Teleportation is disabled by default — enable it with:

• allowHome — lets players teleport to their home
• allowSpawns — lets players teleport to predefined spawn points

🔒 App Access Control

Control which apps are available and to whom using the access config list:

Example:

["eyemod:maps=1", "eyemod:notes=2"]

To disable all cheat-tagged apps at once, set disableCheatApps to true.

💰 App Pricing

App prices work the same way as access control — just use the price instead of an access level:

["eyemod:maps=100", "eyemod:notes=0"]

💾 Storage

EyePhone data is stored as NBT, so there's a per-phone character cap to keep things performant. If the cap is hit, data is automatically cleared.

• Adjust the cap with the maxStorage property
• For large servers, consider lowering this value
• Players can manually clear app data from the Settings app

Storage is calculated at ~2 bytes per character.

🖥️ Server Setup

EyeMod is fully server-compatible. Here's what server owners and operators should know:

🚫 Banning Players

Since the EyePhone allows free player-to-player communication, abuse can happen. Operators can ban a player from using the EyePhone directly through the Settings app by entering their username. Banned players lose access to all communication features.

📂 Data Storage

Player data is stored per world and includes:

• 💳 Account info (money, purchased apps)
• 💬 Messages (up to 64 per player, per app)
• 🚫 Ban list
• 📋 Board and chat messages

⚠️ Warning: Deleting the world data file removes all of the above permanently.
