Spyglass night vision mode
by auikiouy
Spyglass night vision mode adds a toggleable night vision effect to spyglasses, switched on and off with the N key.
What it does
Players who use a spyglass can turn on a night vision mode while holding it, so dark areas stay visible without a potion or a torch. Pressing N changes the settings that the spyglass toggles for night vision, and the effect stays active until it is switched off. The mod is built for Forge on 1.20.1 only, which is the single version it supports, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Toggleable night vision
Spyglasses gain a night vision mode that can be switched on and off whenever the player wants.
N key settings
Pressing N opens the settings the spyglass uses for its night vision toggle, so the effect is adjusted in one place.
Constant night vision
While the mode is on, night vision stays active, so the player does not need to re-apply it after each change.
