Darkness Begone
by Green_Ghost
Darkness Begone is a Forge utility that clears the Darkness effect applied by Wardens and Shriekers in the Deep Dark.
What it does
The mod removes the Darkness effect automatically as soon as it is applied, so a player who is hit by a Warden's shriek is not left tired or blinded in the Deep Dark. A single key press turns the removal on or off, and a status message above the hotbar confirms each change. The default key is G, which starts with the removal switched off, and the key can be rebound in the standard Controls menu.
Only the client needs the mod, because it works on the player's side and changes nothing on the server. It is published for Forge and targets 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2025-12-21. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public source code is available.
Key features
Automatic removal
The Darkness effect is cleared instantly after a Warden or Shrieker applies it, without any action by the player.
Toggle with one key
A single key press switches the removal on or off during play, so the effect can be kept when a player wants it.
Status message
A message above the hotbar shows whether the removal is currently enabled after each toggle.
Rebindable key
The toggle key can be changed in the standard Controls menu, and it defaults to G with the mod switched off.
