About this Mod

With this mod, the nights in the game will become harder. And any darkness too. To avoid death, you will always have to have a light source in your hands, or be near it.

The mod was created for my modpack, but you can use it for your game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dangerous Darkness server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Dangerous Darkness compatible with fabric and forge?

Dangerous Darkness officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Dangerous Darkness – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dangerous Darkness consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
