Universal Darkness lets mobs react to the darkness effect by limiting what they can see to objects within 15 blocks.

What it does

When a mob receives the darkness effect, its vision shrinks to objects within 15 blocks, the same way the effect works on players. The mod needs TT's Lib│特特的庫 installed alongside it. It is a server-required mod: the server must run it, while players may add it on the client but do not have to. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.

Key features

Mob vision limit
Mobs affected by darkness can only see objects within 15 blocks of themselves.
Matches player darkness
The reduced sight works like the darkness effect a player receives, so the rule feels consistent across entities.
Mobs category
The mod is grouped under Mobs and adds a behavioral change to how hostile creatures perceive their surroundings.
