Hardcore Darkness

This mod removes the minimum light that's always present in minecraft

Description

You have probably noticed it yourself but its never actually pitch black in minecraft. Even if you are in a cave with no torches you will still be able to see something independent of your gamma setting. This mod changes this, it removes the minimum block & sky light so if there is no light source its actually dark.

Usage

After you install this mod it will be in mode 0, there are 3 different modes and they can be changed in the config file:

   0. There is no minimum block & sky light

   1. There is no minimum block light

   2. There is no minimum block light & the sky light is dependent on the moon phase

 

There are also some other options in the config file:

  • "Dark Nether" : "Whether the minimum light of the nether should also be removed"
  • "Dark End" : "Whether the minimum light of the end should also be removed"
  • "Dark Twilight Forest" [1.7.10] : "Whether the time in the Twilight Forest should be fixed to midnight instead of dusk"
  • "AlternativeNightSkylight" : "In Mode 1 & 2 the skylight has a slightly blue tint, this option replaces that with a slightly green/yellow tint"
  • "Dimension Blacklist" : "A list of dimension ids separated by "," in which Hardcore Darkness will not take effect" 

 

If you install this mod on a server all clients will have to have Hardcore Darkness installed. Clients will also be forced to use the config file you specify on your server.

 

Feel free to use this mod in a modpack
