## 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.

## What this mod is NOT

This is not a combat automation tool, a cheat, or a mob-disabling mod. Endermen are never frozen, killed, or altered. It is purely a preventive accessibility and quality-of-life aid.
