Remove Blindness
by Decrypt
Remove Blindness is a NeoForge server-side utility that clears the blindness effect Basic Login applies to players while they log in.
What it does
While a player is logging in, Basic Login can apply a blindness effect that hides the surroundings. Remove Blindness cancels that one effect, so the player can see the area around them during login. The other security features of Basic Login stay active, since the mod removes nothing else.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Basic Login is an optional dependency: the mod is useful when Basic Login is on the same server, and it does no work without it. The mod needs no configuration. It is installed by placing its file in the server mods folder and starting the server.
The files target 1.21.1 on NeoForge only, with version 1.0.0 published on 2025-01-17. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
