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
Could you please make a config option to make the brightness very slowly increase to default darkness emulating your eyes adjusting to the darkness? <3 I want this feature so bad.
In reply to Southern_Pixel:
This may not be quite what you're looking for, but some shader packs for Optifine have this feature. I believe SEUS is one of them. Hope this helped!
Is there a way to toggle this on and off in-game?
I worry a little because this mod makes the nether and the end dark, I don't know why, but for me it doesn't make much sense, pls change that.
***obs.sorry if I said something wrong, I'm brazilian and don't know english so well
In reply to mini_pamoy:
if you could update it for a texture/shaders and not for a mod looks good too, because in textures/shaders we can power off or on when and how we want.
In reply to mini_pamoy:
It's possible to disable the mod's effects in other dimensions, you need to set the flags at the mod's config file
Tem como desativar o mod em outras dimensões, é só setar no arquivo de configurações do mod
PS: Não precisa pedir desculpa pelo seu inglês, é suficiente o seu esforço de escrever em inglês :)
so, I'm having a glitch where when I go in running water screen goes mostly white/washed out
anyway we could get this in 1.16
Love this mod, makes caves something to worry about again. But I set my night mode to 2 but my oceans are still always dark no matter what. Any ideas?
Hey love the mod! Just wondering if this is compatible with Seus v11 shaders, because it seems to not affect the lighting with shaders on.
In reply to the3ggegg: that's because this is basically shaders can only use one shaders at a time. so this would never work with any shaders.
Hey guys, just to let you know I'm working on a copy of this to bring it up to 1.14 here: https://github.com/mikealy/darkness-realism. Not ready yet, but feel free to contribute/watch progress.
is this a client side mod or would the server also be required to have it?
In reply to skyepony1994:
If you want players to use this mod forcibly, then it must be installed on both sides.
Guys... the last time Lumien updated this was in 2017, don't expect a update for 1.14+.
It conflicts with Clear Water / Clarity / Better diving, in the sense that it is pitch black underwater non-stop.
In reply to Inf0214:
Same here, did ya fix it?
are there any plans to update this mod to 1.14+?
config file is not generating, im using mc 1.12 version.
How can I make this work with Stellar Sky in 1.12?
I tried changing config to moon phase in this and lowering moon and milky way brightness in Stellar Sky but it did not work
