Hardcore Darkness (Fabric)

The Hardcore Darkness mod brings back the impenetrable darkness of nights and customizable fog from the classic True Darkness, adapted for the modern Fabric version. If you use shaders, note that this mod does not affect them - achieving a similar effect requires separate configuration.

Main Features

Configure the darkness level individually for each dimension, with an additional option to account for moon phases. All parameters are available in the configuration file config/hardcore_darkness.toml. Fog multipliers in the Nether and End can be adjusted to maintain the gloomy atmosphere of these dimensions. For multiplayer games, there is an option for server-side compatibility verification, ensuring identical visual effects for all players. The mod is fully compatible with Distant Horizons.

Installation

Requires Fabric and Fabric API. To access settings directly in the game, it is recommended to install Mod Menu and Cloth Config. Place the built jar file in the mods/ folder on the client. Installation on the server is only necessary when activating the require_server_mod option with a value of true.

Building

The build process requires Java 21 using Gradle and Fabric Loom. Versions are specified in the gradle.properties file. To build, run the command ./gradlew build.
