About Never Dark
From mod.ioNeverDark softly illuminates every dark space, preserving your world exactly as it is. One key to toggle, one command to control.
Never Dark
NeverDark makes exploring caves feel safe. It adds a soft, global light that brightens every dark corner without you ever having to break a single roof. Toggle it on or off with a hotkey or command, and your preference is saved automatically.
Works on Core Keeper 1.2.1+, multiplayer and dedicated servers. You only need to install it on the client.
FEATURES
NeverDark adds a soft, global light so you can see in dark caves and under roofs without breaking anything. It uses a subtle additive light in the indirect lighting system, so the effect stays natural and doesn’t change your world.
Control it with Shift+L (configurable in CoreLib) or the /neverdark on/off command. Your on/off preference is saved automatically.
CHAT COMMANDS (Requires CoreLib)
/neverdark on- Disables the global light effect until you turn it on again./neverdark off- Re-enables the ore glow effect.
HOTKEYS (Configurable in Settings -> Controls -> Mods)
- Shift + L (or your chosen key): Toggles the global light effect.
HOW IT WORKS
- Load your world; the light is on by default.
- Toggle with Shift+L or /neverdark on|off in chat.
- Your choice saves automatically.
- No tiles are changed; only lighting is affected.
