Remove Darkness Effect

by cow

Remove Darkness Effect is a Fabric mod that switches off the darkness overlay Minecraft shows in dim areas and during Warden encounters.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.7 – 26.2

What it does

The mod removes the visual darkness effect in singleplayer worlds, so dim areas and Warden fights no longer dim the screen. It is a lightweight Fabric mod that changes only the overlay: mob behavior, brightness and gameplay are left as they were, and the potion effect itself is not altered. Players toggle it with the G key by default, and the Key Binds screen in Options lets them assign a different key. An action bar message confirms whether it is enabled or disabled.

Installation needs Fabric API. The mod runs on client and server and is published for Fabric only, across 8 release versions, 1.21.7 – 26.2, under the MIT License. It is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Languages include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. Players who use it on a multiplayer server should first check that server's rules, since client-side mods used without permission may break them; a server plugin is the option for multiplayer.

Key features

  1. Overlay removal

    The overlay shown in low light and during Warden encounters is removed, while the effect itself stays in place.

  2. Toggle with the G key

    A toggle on the G key, changeable in Options, switches the overlay removal on or off during play.

  3. Action bar confirmation

    An action bar message reports whether the mod is currently enabled or disabled after each toggle.

  4. Localized interface

    The mod interface is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.
