nightvision plus
by zunndev
Nightvision Plus gives a player permanent night vision, switched on and off with a single client-side toggle command.
What it does
Night vision is applied as a status effect that stays on for the whole session once enabled, so dark caves and nights stop slowing exploration. The effect does not wear off when the player dies, is totemed, or drinks milk, and it stays in place across those events. The toggle is a command named nightvisionplus, with an alias, and it can be run at any time to turn the effect off again.
The mod runs on Fabric and is needed only on the client side. Potions are handled by the server through a permission node, which server owners must grant before players can use the toggle on a multiplayer server. The mod is installed by placing the jar in the mods folder alongside Fabric Loader and the Fabric API, which is required.
Files cover game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2 across nine release builds, with the latest file 1.0.0+26.2 for 26.2 published on 2026-08-12. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. A wiki is linked from the project page.
Key features
Permanent night vision
Once enabled, night vision stays active across deaths, totems and milk, so darkness is not a recurring problem.
One-command toggle
A single command turns the effect on or off, and an alias gives a shorter way to run it at any time.
Server permissions
Server owners control who can use potions and the toggle through a permission node.
Status effect
The effect is implemented as a standard status effect, so the state is kept with the player throughout the session.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want constant visibility in dark areas, and server owners who prefer to limit the feature with a permission node. Fabric players on game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2 are the audience the files target.
