NightVisuals NoFireOverlay
by NightVisuals
NightVisuals NoFireOverlay is a Fabric utility that removes the fire overlay drawn over the screen while the player is burning.
What it does
The mod turns off the vanilla first-person burning animation, so the screen stays clear during combat and while exploring a dark dimension. It changes only the client-side rendering pass that draws the overlay, and it has no effect on the server or on other players in a multiplayer session.
The overlay can be switched on or off from the in-game menu, using its default key, and the setting is stored in separate config files. Installation needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and the NightVisuals GUI dependency, and the mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it. Files are published for Fabric and 1.21.4, with version 1.0 as the latest file, released 2026-07-04 under All rights reserved.
Key features
Fire overlay removal
The screen-covering fire effect is no longer drawn while the player is on fire, leaving the view unobstructed.
Toggle from the GUI
The in-game menu switches the overlay on or off, using a default key.
Rendering-only change
Only the client-side rendering engine is modified, so the change stays within a single player's own client.
Light rendering cost
The overlay render pass is skipped entirely, so the mod adds no extra draw work during play.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who find the burning overlay distracting and want a clean view. Server owners do not need to install it.
