See in the Dark
See in the Dark gives players semi-permanent night vision through FE-powered goggles, a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1.
What it does
Night vision here comes from equipped goggles rather than a potion. While the goggles are worn and enabled, the night vision effect stays on without particles, so the effect does not show as a potion. The author describes the approach as similar to Fullbright, aimed at avoiding a cheaty feel. Its power source is FE, and the draw rate of the goggles is configurable. Curios API is optional and adds support for wearing the goggles in a Curios slot.
The mod is open source under the MIT License, with public source code and an issue tracker. Its files target NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is 1.21.1-1.0.0 from 2026-07-31. Client and server both need it, so players and the server run the same build. The mod runs standalone with the goggles set to 0 power draw in its server-side configs, and it is not compatible with shaders. The author plans further gadgets for smaller annoyances with FE power, and recommends playing it alongside a mod that adds FE-powered items to charge the goggles.

What the author says
This mod started as a way for me to have a simple way of having a semi-permanent (and potion effect particle-less) night vision effect without it feeling as cheaty as using something like Fullbright. I'm planning on adding some more handy gadgets for solving other minor annoyances with the power of FE. This mod is…
