ClearVision
by Knecht
ClearVision is a client-side Fabric utility that turns off the fog overlays used for blindness, darkness, water, lava and powder snow.
What it does
The mod removes the screen-covering overlays that Minecraft draws for blindness, darkness, submerged in water or lava, and standing in powder snow. It also drops the sky darkening and fog dimming that come with those effects, so the view stays clear while the effects themselves still run. Players who want a plainer view of the world, or who find the overlays hard to read, can use it without changing anything on the server.
Only the client needs ClearVision, so players install it alone and servers do not run it. Fabric API is required, and the mod is released under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric only, covering game versions 1.21.10 – 26.1.2 across five release versions, with 1.2.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file from 2026-05-15. It was first published on 2025-12-12 and last updated on 2026-05-15.
Key features
Overlay removal
Fog overlays for blindness, darkness, water, lava and powder snow are no longer drawn over the screen.
Sky and fog adjustments
Fog blur, sky darkening and fog dimming tied to those effects are removed, leaving the sky at its normal brightness.
Status effects unchanged
The effects still apply to the player, so only their visual overlays are affected by the mod.
Config screen
A settings screen is available through Mod Menu for choosing which overlays to disable.

Use cases
Clearer underwater and lava views
Players exploring oceans, caves and lava lakes can see terrain without the tinted overlay covering the screen.
Playing with blindness or darkness active
The effects still work, but the screen stays readable while a player waits out a potion or a darkness cloud.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want the fog and darkness overlays removed while keeping the status effects themselves. It suits single-player and multiplayer clients alike, since the server side is not involved.
