How to become Cyclops

Craft and drink a Cyclops DNA Potion. Your first transformation unlocks the Cyclops abilities and the “To me, my X-Men.” advancement.

First craft a Basic Human Potion:

Empty | Sugar | Empty
Gold Nugget | Milk Bucket | Gold Nugget
Empty | Glass Bottle | Empty

Then combine these ingredients in any arrangement:

1 Basic Human Potion
1 Eye of Ender
1 Blaze Powder
1 Spider Eye
1 Nether Quartz
1 Nether Wart

This creates a Cyclops DNA Potion. The potion is crafted in a crafting table and is consumed like a normal drinkable item.

How to return to human form

Drink a Basic Human Potion while transformed. Your Cyclops abilities and mutant bonuses will be removed, and you will return to normal human form. Your equipment stays with you.

The visor

The visor is an early-game craftable item and does not require a helmet or Nether materials.

Iron Ingot | Empty | Iron Ingot
Red Stained Glass Pane | Redstone Dust | Red Stained Glass Pane
Empty | Leather | Empty

Equip the visor in the helmet slot. It gives you access to the controlled blast abilities and changes the way your eye power is handled.

Abilities

Mini Blast fires a compact optic projectile with a short cooldown. It can bounce between nearby targets, and each bounce is shown as it travels through the world.

Continuous Blast is a sustained optic beam for combat, movement and controlled block breaking. It pushes targets away and pushes you in the opposite direction of the beam.

Open eyes work as an uncontrolled continuous beam when you are not wearing the visor. Close your eyes to stop the beam and limit your vision. Equipping the visor restores controlled use.

Mega Blast is the ultimate optic attack. It requires the visor and ground contact, then creates a long, wide beam with a long cooldown. The animation includes the visor lift, third-person camera direction, recoil, kneeling impact and visor recovery.

The beam powers are built around kinetic movement. Aim downward to gain lift, aim behind you to move forward, and use sneak to brace yourself. The mod also includes blast-assisted landings, visible recoil movement, friction effects, ricochets, block damage and ability animations.

Default controls

R: Mini Blast
V: Continuous Blast
G: Mega Blast
C: Close or Open Eyes
Left Shift: Brace against recoil

Every key can be changed in Options and Controls. The HUD shows the current key bindings, ability names and cooldowns.

Cyclops Tactical Suit

The visor, chestplate, leggings and boots provide netherite-equivalent protection and toughness and can be enchanted. The tactical suit recipes use diamond armor pieces.

Cyclops Tactical Suit:

Gold Ingot | Empty | Gold Ingot
Blue Dye | Diamond Chestplate | Blue Dye
Leather | Gold Ingot | Leather

Cyclops Tactical Pants:

Gold Ingot | Diamond Leggings | Gold Ingot
Leather | Blue Dye | Leather
Blue Dye | Empty | Blue Dye

Cyclops Tactical Boots:

Leather | Empty | Leather
Blue Dye | Diamond Boots | Blue Dye
Gold Ingot | Empty | Gold Ingot

The mod uses standard vanilla crafting recipes.
