About this Mod
- Makes light source blocks glow slightly warmer and decreases visibility during nights and in caves.
- Visibility during the night is normal during full moons, decreases when closer to a new moon and then increases again.
- Caves are about 50% darker than in vanilla, making torches more valuable.
- Night Vision slowly fades out rather than brightly flash.
- Armor Trims glow in the dark.
Based on the Nicer Skies mod.
Compatiblity:
- Turn off colored ambient lights in Alex's Caves config.
This mod was made for my upcoming modpack - 'A Distant Journey'. It does not come with a config, so every change is pretty much hardcoded. I might port it to Fabric or newer versions if I need it, but if not, it will be exclusive to Forge 1.20.1.
