What it does

Darkerer is a FOSS reimplementation of the Hardcore Darkness mod by Lumien231. Night-time light depends on the moon phase, and the dark can be configured for the Overworld, the Nether and the End separately. Modded dimensions are dark by default, and individual dimensions can be excluded through a config property.

Several modes are available, and the minimum sky block light and minimum block light are set in the config. Special compatibility is included for the Twilight Forest. Settings are synced from the server to connected clients and reverted when a client disconnects.

Darkerer is published for Forge 1.7.10 only. Its required dependencies are GTNH Lib and UniMixins. It runs on the client, and the server may also run it. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

    Nights become dark, and players in darkness can see only silhouettes of nearby objects.

  2. Configurable dimensions

    Darkness can be set for the Overworld, Nether and End, with modded dimensions dark by default and exclusions set per dimension.

  3. Light by moon phase

    The minimum sky and block light used in the dark depends on the moon phase, and the minimum values are set in the config.

  4. Server-synced settings

    Configuration is synced from the server to clients and reverted when a client disconnects.
