Fading Night Vision
by ENC_Euphony
Fading Night Vision replaces the flicker of vanilla night vision with a smooth fade-out, so the effect ends gradually instead of stuttering on and off.
What it does
When the night vision effect runs out, the vanilla version flickers before it disappears. This mod swaps that flicker for a fade-out, so the brightness drops gradually and the screen no longer strobes at the end of the potion. The original fade duration setting is kept, so the timing of the effect stays as it was while only the ending changes.
The mod is a standalone split of the fading night vision feature from Better Client, carried over for Minecraft 26.1 and later. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 26.1 and 26.1.1. The optional YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) dependency adds a configuration screen for the mod's settings. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the mod runs on the client alone.

Camera Entity Fade is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2, so it also fades the effect but covers more loaders and versions.
