Combat profile
Shipped defaults for Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge. Server base stats, wave scaling and ability settings can change these values. Existing server configurations may retain older costs and theme assignments. Timings assume 20 TPS.
Behavior
Flies toward eligible player allies, configured attack targets and opposing Versus mobs. It hovers 2 blocks in front of a victim’s face, follows their gaze, and attaches to immobilize them. The victim shakes, receives continually refreshed Blindness I and takes its attack damage (2 by default) every 100 ticks (5 seconds).
The visible eye and its hitbox stay together, so attacks on the eye do not hit the victim. An attached player can use attack to strike it regardless of viewing direction; ordinary dismount controls cannot release them. Kill the eye or lure it away to free the victim. Death/removal releases the victim, and attachments are transient across reloads.
Throw an Eye of Ender to attract every living Flying Eye within 20 blocks. Attached victims are released immediately. The eyes follow the thrown item until it begins descending or disappears, then resume their normal objectives. Keep a spare Eye of Ender to interrupt a dangerous attachment.
Like Mini Squid, it refuses victims already occupied by either parasite, including victims occupied after pursuit begins. Without a target it attacks the active enemy Nexus for 1 core damage each second at close range. It takes no fall damage and uses Phantom sounds. One Eye can also throw these actual mobs; a successful impact attaches immediately.
Spawning & configuration
Entity ID: invmod:flying_eye. Default themes: FLYING, RANDOM, MIXED, RANDOMHELL. Use Themes and the entity configuration to change participation and costs.
The shipped wave spawn location is above ground. This restricts Nexus-wave spawn points; it does not grant movement abilities or damage immunity. There is no dedicated vanilla replacement for this mob.
Use its dedicated egg from the creative inventory, or /give @s invmod:flying_eye_spawn_egg with command permission. To summon it directly, use /summon invmod:flying_eye. See the Spawn Egg Reference. Its vanilla Phantom family icon does not change the separately registered mob it spawns.
Drops
Exactly 1 Eye of Ender from its custom death drop. It has no inherited shared Small Remnants roll.
