Vision
Vision removes several visibility-restricting effects, including darkness fog, render distance fog, fog in lava, water and powdered snow, plus the pumpkin vignette and the lower fire overlay.
What it does
Vision is a Fabric client mod that clears the fog and overlays that cut down what a player can see. Its night vision effect brightens the view in dark areas, and the fog layers from darkness, render distance, lava, water and powdered snow are turned off so distant terrain stays visible. The pumpkin vignette and the fire overlay at the bottom of the screen are also suppressed.
Only the client needs the mod, so players install it on their own game and servers run without it. It is published for Fabric on 1.20 – 1.20.4, with release files for 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.4, dated 2023-07-04. The code is public and so is the issue tracker, while the mod itself is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Exploring at night

Underwater and lava travel
Fog in water and lava no longer hides the seabed or the surrounding area while swimming or crossing.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.20 – 1.20.4 who find the fog and vignette effects in the game hard to see through. Server owners do not need to do anything, because the mod is client-side only.
