No More Night Vision Flashing!
by KingLemming
No More Night Vision Flashing! changes how the night vision effect ends, so it fades gently instead of flickering in its last seconds.
What it does
When the night vision effect nears its end, the default game flashes the screen on and off. This Forge mod replaces that flashing with a gentle fade. The effect still expires on the same timer, but the brightness dims smoothly over the final stretch, which removes the flicker for players who find it disruptive.
The removal begins when less than 10 seconds of the effect remain. The fade length is set by a configurable value, which defaults to 1 second, and the base night vision brightness can also be adjusted. Settings live in a TOML file in the config folder, named nv flash-client.toml.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. It is published for Forge alone, across four release versions 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, and the latest file, 1.6.0, was released on 2023-12-20. Its author notes it is pretty straightforward, uses Mixin and ASM 1.16 with some compatibility issues unlikely, and has no required dependencies, so it can be included in modpacks without extra libraries. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
