SmartVision
by FN
SmartVision, a client-side Fabric and Quilt mod by FN, changes how the game looks on the player's screen, adding brightness, coordinates and fewer visual distractions.
What it does
Installed on a player's client, SmartVision enhances vision in the game. It disables the water fog seen in the Nether overworld and reduces the fire overlay drawn on the interface, so both obstruct the view less. The mod also displays the player's coordinates and raises brightness to twice its normal level, which helps when exploring dark caves or building at night.
Only the client needs the mod. Servers run without it and players join without any extra installation. The mod changes visuals only and does not affect physics, so gameplay remains the same. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across 19 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.7, and is released under the MIT License, not as open source.
Files exist for 1.19 – 1.21.7, and the latest Fabric build, 1.3.15, targets 1.21.7, published on 2025-07-02. The most recent Quilt build, 1.3.7, targets 1.20.4 and was published on 2023-12-06. The first release was published on 2022-07-30.

Coordinates display
The player's current coordinates are shown on screen without opening any menu.
