Description:

Moody brightness not dark enough? Do you want moonless nights and unlit caverns to be pitch black? This mod is for you!

In addition to maintaining the mod for newer versions, this fork also fixes compatibility issues with Distant Horizons and adds some server-side functionality, such as config syncing.

Dependencies:

owo-lib fabric-api

Optional: Mod Menu

Note that the mod itself and its effect is only required client-side to function, though it does have some additional functionality when installed on a server.

FAQ:

Question: Does this mod work with shaders?

  • Answer: No it doesn't. This mod achieves the darkening by modifying the vanilla lightmap, which shaders typically disregard entirely. If you are looking for a similar experience with shaders, ComplementaryShaders happens to include options to make caves completely dark as well as having moon-phases affect lighting.

Question: Does this mod need to be on the server too?

  • Answer: Nope. The visual effects of this mod is entirely client-side. However, installing it on the server will unlock additional functionality like config synchronization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does True Darkness Refabricated need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks True Darkness Refabricated as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does True Darkness Refabricated require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

True Darkness Refabricated is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
