BlindCraft
by Campfiring
BlindCraft is a Minigame datapack for servers that gives every player a permanent blindness effect, with milk, night vision and water breathing reworked around it.
What it does
Blindness is applied to each player and stays in place, so the effect is part of normal play rather than a timed event. Milk clears the effect for 30 seconds and then goes on a 2 minute cooldown, while night vision only shortens its own duration. Water breathing works only in water, which changes how players move through lakes and oceans.
The mod is listed for Fabric and Forge, and as a data pack for server platforms. The server must run it, while players may leave it out on their client. The license is Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the mod is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.7 and 1.21.8, with 1.1 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric and Forge build, published on 2025-09-06.
Its author notes say the data pack was made in under 10 minutes and that some glitches remain, so server owners should test it on a copy of their world before running it live.
Key features
Permanent blindness
Each player receives the blindness effect and keeps it, which is the core rule of the minigame.
Milk with cooldown
Drinking milk removes 30 seconds of the effect and then goes on a 2 minute cooldown before it can be used again.
Night vision adjustment
Night vision removes only the duration of the effect, so it can shorten blindness without clearing it.
Water breathing limit
Water breathing works only while the player is in water, which restricts how it helps during play.

Use cases
Server minigame rounds
Server owners can run a blindness round where all players play under the same permanent effect and use milk to recover.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a short, themed minigame with a clear rule set. Clients can join without the mod, since it is server required and client optional.

What the author says
Adds the blindness effect permanently to the player - Milk removes it for 30 seconds (with a cooldown of 2 minutes) - Night vision removes it for the duration of the effect - Water Breathing does the same, but only on water This is a datapack that I made in less than 10 minutes, so it might have some glitches
