EnderEyeGlow
Few things in Minecraft are as frustrating as throwing an Eye of Ender, watching it sail into the distance, and then losing sight of it entirely. Whether you are hunting for a stronghold or navigating the End, that tiny purple projectile can vanish in seconds. EnderEyeGlow solves this problem in the simplest way possible: it makes every thrown Eye of Ender glow, so you always know exactly where it went.
What Does EnderEyeGlow Do?
At its core, EnderEyeGlow is a lightweight visual utility mod. Whenever you throw an Eye of Ender, it receives an outline similar to the vanilla Glowing effect. This outline remains visible through terrain, meaning you can track the eye's trajectory even when it passes behind blocks or into caves. No more sprinting in the wrong direction or losing track of a stronghold search halfway through.
The mod does not stop at outlines. It also adds particle effects when the Eye of Ender is dropped as an item, giving you an extra visual cue in busy environments. If you install ColoredGlowLib alongside it, the outline gains a custom color, letting you personalize the effect to match your setup or resource pack.
Why EnderEyeGlow for Minecraft Is a Must-Have
Stronghold hunting is one of the most tedious parts of any survival playthrough. You throw an eye, it flies off, and you hope you remember the direction. EnderEyeGlow turns that guesswork into precision. The glowing outline acts like a beacon, and on servers with multiple players, it prevents the chaos of everyone losing track of shared eye throws.
The mod is especially valuable in the End dimension, where the dark backdrop makes Eyes of Ender nearly impossible to follow. With the glow effect active, you can watch the eye arc through the void and land exactly where you need to go.
Multiplayer and Server Benefits
The best way to enjoy this mod is with other people on a server. When several players are throwing Eyes of Ender at once, the glowing outlines make it clear which eye belongs to whom and where each one is heading. It transforms a confusing group activity into a coordinated effort.
Supported Versions and Loaders
EnderEyeGlow is built for modern Minecraft versions and supports both Fabric and NeoForge loaders, covering the most popular modding setups for recent game releases. Whether you run a Fabric-based client or a NeoForge server, you can drop the mod in and start tracking eyes immediately.
Configuration Options
You can enable or disable each feature in the config file. To access the in-game configuration screen, you need to install ModMenu and YACL. From there, you can toggle the outline, adjust particle effects, and customize the glow color to your liking.
If you prefer a streamlined setup, the foxygame.net launcher includes EnderEyeGlow directly in its add-on catalog, so you can add it to your modpack with a single click and let the launcher handle version matching automatically.
How to Install EnderEyeGlow
Getting started is straightforward. Follow these steps:
- Download EnderEyeGlow from a trusted mod hosting platform.
- Install Fabric or NeoForge for your Minecraft version.
- Place the mod file in your mods folder.
- Install ModMenu and YACL if you want in-game config access.
- Optionally add ColoredGlowLib for custom outline colors.
- Launch the game and throw an Eye of Ender to test the effect.
Once installed, the mod works automatically. No commands, no setup rituals, just throw and track.
Vanilla Alternative
If you cannot install mods, there is a vanilla workaround. Place a repeating command block that is always active and run the following command:
execute as @e[type=minecraft:eye_of_ender] run data merge entity @s {Glowing:1}
This applies the Glowing effect to every Eye of Ender entity, mimicking the mod's core feature. It lacks the particle effects and color customization, but it gets the job done in a pinch.
Final Thoughts

It removes a genuine annoyance from stronghold hunting, adds a touch of visual flair with particles and custom colors, and works seamlessly on both Fabric and NeoForge. Whether you are a solo survival player or running a busy multiplayer server, this mod keeps your Eyes of Ender in sight at all times. Download EnderEyeGlow today and never lose another eye again.
