Feel the warmth of those around you...
Craftable thermal vision goggles for tactical PvP, survival, and custom modpacks. Spot living targets against a cold, blue world. Originally created for a small Battle Royale server with weapon mods such as TaCZ and Superb Warfare.
Features
- Model-based highlighting: supported living entity models are highlighted directly, rather than surrounded by the old aura effect.
- Up to 96 blocks of entity detection range, limited by entity render distance.
- Cold-world filter, warm glows around nearby luminous blocks, a charge HUD, and activation sounds.
- Rechargeable power: 60 seconds of active use per full charge. Power is consumed only while thermal vision is enabled. When depleted, the effect switches off and the goggles can be recharged.
- New in 5.0 for Minecraft 1.20.1: animated 3D goggles and optional Curios support. Other players can see the goggles raise and lower.
How to use
- Craft the goggles or obtain them in Creative mode.
- Without Curios, equip them in the helmet slot. In 5.0 with Curios installed, use the functional head accessory slot alongside your helmet. Cosmetic slots do not activate thermal vision.
- Press V to toggle thermal vision. The key can be changed in Minecraft's Controls settings.
- To recharge, hold a Thermal Vision Battery and right-click while wearing the goggles. One battery fully restores the charge and is consumed in Survival.

Rendering notes
The effect is designed to respect solid-wall occlusion. Compatibility with translucent blocks, shader packs, and other rendering mods has not been comprehensively verified. Invisible entities, spectator players, and armor stands are excluded from highlighting. Coverage of custom modded entity renderers may vary.

Thermal Vision Goggles 5.0
5.09 окт. 2026 г.424Minecraft: 1.20.1forge
Что нового
**Curios support**: wear the goggles in the head accessory slot alongside a regular helmet. Without Curios, they still use the helmet slot. Cosmetic slots do not grant thermal vision.
**New 3D model**: an armored housing, a head strap, and orange lenses. Powered-on and powered-off goggles have distinct appearances.
**Smooth animations**: activating thermal vision lowers the goggles over your eyes; deactivating it raises them onto your forehead. Rapid toggling smoothly reverses the movement. Other players can see these animations too.

- Updated the fixed build: `Сборка-fixed.zip`.
### New Thermal Vision Behavior
- Glowing blocks are now detected as warm objects.
