About More Darkness
From ModrinthEnhances darkness: moon phases affect night light, caves are pitch black
More Darkness
Minecraft is never really dark. Moonless nights are bright enough to walk without a torch, caves glow with light that comes from nowhere, and water hides nothing. More Darkness removes that safety net: darkness becomes something you plan around, and light becomes something you carry.
True darkness would be unfair with camera-eyes, so the mod gives you human ones. Stumble into a cave and you're blind. Give your eyes a moment and your surroundings emerge: close, colorless, fragile. Step back into daylight and it burns. A torch stops being decoration. It's the difference between seeing and guessing.
- Nights ruled by the moon, pitch-black caves, murky water
- Eyes that adapt: gradual dark sight, colorless low-light vision, glare when leaving the dark
- Each system toggleable
