Glow in the dark Berries
by Dashy22
Glow in the dark Berries changes the Glowberries so that eating one grants a short Night Vision effect, making cave exploration easier.
What it does
Eating a glowing berry gives the player about 14 seconds of Night Vision, a length chosen because shorter durations flash noticeably near the end. The effect is meant to help light up the sparse ore areas and roofs of caves, where a player can briefly see without torches. The mod is distributed as a data pack and as Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds, and it runs on the server, while players may add it too. Builds cover 1.21.9 – 26.2 under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.

What the author says
Another simple datapack that makes glowberries give bonus nightvision and glowing when eaten. I thought glowberries were kinda a useless food ingame, hard to grow, bad saturation, there main use is as a sparse food in caves. Making them give a short temporary night vision when eaten makes them a little more wanted…
