About this Mod

This mod can make the sky dark by decreasing brightness and increasing saturation.
I made this because I think the sky is too bright.

Check Gallery for screenshots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dark Sky 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 (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Dark Sky compatible with fabric?

Dark Sky officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.6, 1.21.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Dark Sky – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dark Sky consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
