EyeMineMods

This repository contains the Minecraft mods used with EyeMine, which provides a gaze-controlled keyboard for in-game actions.

⚠️ If you're a user of EyeMine you shouldn't need to view or use this repo, since everything is bundled into an installer at https://github.com/SpecialEffect/EyeMine/releases. This is only intended for developers or expert Minecraft users who are searching for alternate mod versions to manage themselves.

Information for users

The EyeMine wiki contains full information on how to get started, system requirements, a user guide, demo videos, a troubleshooting page, and more.

EyeMine is designed for eye-gaze control, and also supports head-pointer control. If you want to play Minecraft with different alternative inputs such as assistive switches and joystick, please contact SpecialEffect with more information about your setup. Some of the functionality in these mods may be helpful.

Supporting different versions

The official release of EyeMine currently supports Minecraft Forge v1.14.4, and the whole bundle (keyboards, mod and installer) are available for download from The EyeMine wiki. If you don't already play Minecraft then you should get started with this one.

Other versions

The original "classic" version of EyeMine works with Minecraft Forge v1.11.2 and can be downloaded as a bundle from the EyeMine wiki: Classic installation.

A version of the mod ported by Mrbysco supports v1.16.5 and can be downloaded from https://github.com/SpecialEffect/EyeMineMods/releases

Information for developers

Code for different versions of Minecraft Forge can be found on different branches:

• Minecraft Forge v1.11.2 (via the eyemineClassic_mc1_11_2 branch)
