Just View (NightVision/FullBrightness)
by costa_021
Just View, a Fabric client mod, adds NightVision and FullBrightness modes that brighten dark caves and nighttime areas for players who want clearer sight.
What it does
Just View toggles two lighting modes on the client. NightVision lets players see clearly in dark places, while FullBrightness removes shadows and lifts dark areas to a steady light. Pressing G switches between the modes at once, without leaving the game or opening a menu.
The mod changes only what the player sees. It is described as lightweight and performance-friendly, and it works alongside other performance and PvP mods. Only Fabric has a file, published for 1.21.11 on 2026-01-04, under the MIT License; the code is not open source.
Key features
NightVision mode
Brightens dark caves and night-time areas so terrain and entities can be read in the dark.
FullBrightness mode
Removes shadows and dark patches, giving an evenly lit view of the surrounding area.
Instant toggle on G
A single key press switches between the two modes without pausing play or opening a screen.
Visual-only changes
Both modes affect rendering alone, leaving lighting in the world and gameplay values as they are.

Who it’s for: Players who explore dark areas, fight in dim conditions or want a clearer view without changing vanilla gameplay. It suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers, since it requires no server-side install.
