No Nether Fog
by MVPFishstock
Players who find the fog in the Nether distracting can use No Nether Fog, a Fabric client mod that turns the fog off with a single keypress.
What it does
Pressing the configurable hotkey, which defaults to F, toggles the Nether fog on or off while the game is running. The change applies on the player's side, so no server needs to change how the world looks. The mod is a small, simple Minecraft Fabric mod built for version 1.16.1 and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Setup requires Fabric Loader, Fabric API and the compiled mod JAR placed in the mods folder. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published only for 1.16.1. The client needs the mod while the server may leave it out, so it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers alike.
Key features
Nether fog toggle
A single keypress switches the fog in the Nether off or back on, without restarting the game or changing any settings.
Configurable hotkey
The default key is F, and the hotkey can be changed in the controls settings to avoid conflicts with other bindings.
Player-side fog setting
The fog setting lives on the player's side, so the server does not need to change how the world looks.

Screenshots and builds
Builders photographing or working in Nether structures can switch the fog off for a clearer view.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on Minecraft 1.16.1 with Fabric who want a simple way to remove the Nether fog during their play. It does not add new content, and it only changes what the client renders.
How it compares
Several other mods change the fog in other ways. Fog Toggle is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, client-side only, and built for Fabric in the 1.21.11 – 26.2 range, so it does not cover 1.16.1. FogControl is client-side only, built for Fabric 1.21.11 and released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. No Fog is client-side only for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.19 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
