newnpc-light-fix-addon
by kast1ent
newnpc-light-fix-addon corrects the lighting of NewNPC characters, so their models shade and react to light the way the rest of the scene does.
What it does
The addon targets NPC models from the NewNPC mod, whose shading can look inconsistent under some light sources. It changes how those models are lit, which removes harsh dark patches and lets light interact with them properly. The change affects visuals only and leaves gameplay as it is. It is built for Fabric and runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. Files are published for Minecraft 1.20.1, and NewNPC is needed for the addon to do anything.
Key features
Corrected NPC shading
Shading on NewNPC models is adjusted so surfaces no longer show abrupt dark spots.
Smoother light response
Gradients across NewNPC models blend more evenly, with brightness that matches the surrounding environment.
Visual changes only
The addon alters how characters look and does not add mechanics, items or changes to game logic.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
