Darkness Nooo
by ticsea
Darkness Nooo, a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.20.1, removes the visual side of the darkness status effect while keeping the effect itself active.
What it does
The mod strips out the screen-level visuals that the darkness effect normally produces. The dimmed screen, the dark fog that narrows how far a player can see, and the blurred sky are all removed. The effect still applies its underlying state, so the game logic that depends on darkness keeps working. Players who want clear visibility while the effect is active can use it for that purpose, and the mod changes nothing else about how the effect behaves.
The mod focuses only on the visual manifestations of darkness and does not alter the effect's duration, source or gameplay consequences. It runs on the client alone, so players install it on their own side and servers do not need it. Files are published for Forge, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest build, and the project is released under All rights reserved. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Dimmed screen removal
The dimmed overlay that the darkness effect places over the screen is not drawn while the effect is active.
Dark fog removal
The fog that limits how far a player can see during darkness is removed, leaving the normal view distance.
Blurry sky removal
The blurred sky that accompanies the effect is no longer rendered, so the sky appears as it does without darkness.
Effect state kept
The darkness state itself stays in place, so only the visual layer changes.
