Emperor Eye

1.0.0 — first release

The Emperor Eye arrives.

Awakening

• New item: Eye of Akashi, crafted from a nether star, ender eyes and netherite ingots
• Eye marking screen: mark your eyes on your own face and the Emperor Eye is fitted into exactly those pixels, on any skin
• Two placement modes — centre the eye in a painted area, or drop it into one exact cube
• The artifact is consumed on awakening; the eye is permanent from then on
• Heterochromia: one eye red, one gold

Abilities

• Emperor Eye (R) — a gaze that floors whatever you look at and stops it fighting back
• Ankle Break (G) — a double dash that leaves a crimson streak and everyone between the two cuts on the floor
• The Zone (V) — speed, damage and attack speed, a 75% chance to slip any attack, immunity to harmful effects, and a shockwave on entry
• Absolute Victory (passive) — nearby enemies weakened, far more critical hits, and a lethal blow is cancelled outright for 10 seconds of invulnerability

Presentation

• Zero particles anywhere: the eye layer, dash tracer, Zone aura and shockwave are all rendered geometry
• Eye art generated at runtime at eight texels per skin pixel, so it never stretches or blurs
• Compact cooldown HUD, crimson vignette while the eye is open
• English and Russian, following your Minecraft language setting

Under the hood

• Forge 1.20.1, no third-party dependencies
• Everything tunable in config/emperoreye-common.toml
