HarderEyes is a simple datapack for Minecraft 1.21.9+ that replaces the vanilla Eye of Ender recipe. The updated recipe prevents speedrunning the end and promotes exploration and adventure by requiring items from different structures throughout the world.
To craft the Eye of Ender, you'll need to visit a nether fortress, ocean monument, trial chamber, and ancient city.
