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
For people who said total darkness and true darkness is the successor/continued hardcore darkness, hardcore darkness still the best and different since this plugin is serverside to prevent client/players cheating while you running hardcore type modpack/server they cant just remove it from clientside. But true darkness and total darkness is clientside which is players can cheat by removing the mod
people that complained it was dark in alpha/beta ain't got shit on this
1.15.2
pls i want to use this on the angels
In reply to cara_naolegal:
Use true darkness. It's basically the successor.
How do i blacklist dimensions? I do not want it to be super dark in The Nether or custom dimensions...
Is it possible to get a version where the night vision isn't neon yellow in caves?
I installed it on me and my friend's server, though after travelling to aether and coming back it doesn't work anymore, the minimum light comes back
Someone port this to 1.16
In reply to mettlephantoms:
Yes, someone please update this mod to 1.16.
In reply to meDMT:
True Darkness (Fabric) - 1.16 since June
Total Darkness (Forge) - 1.16 since August
In reply to gromlic_fabadoo:
What this guy said. No point in updating a mod when others have continued the idea for later versions.
Edit: just realized i replied to the wrong person. Woops.
Very awesome but totally impractical especiallly if you record videos
1.15.2?
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!
In reply to brofistkittycat:
And what feature might that be? I have SUES Shaders and I dont see anything that can do that.
Is there a way to toggle this on and off in-game?
In reply to razonaught33:
That... would defeat the entire purpose of the mod...
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
