About this Mod

No Sun

A simple mod that removes the sun from the Overworld.

Description

Lights out.

This mod removes the sun from the sky – unlike other "permanent night" mods, it preserves the normal day/night cycle... or shall we say, the cycle of "moonlit nights" and "moonless nights"?

This unique "permanent night" ensures time-related mechanics (both vanilla and modded) function correctly, and feels less eerie than other "permanent night" solutions... at least you can still feel the passage of time.

Of course, you can disable the mod's functionality using the game rule: disableNoSun.

Frequently Asked Questions

No Sun server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 No Sun compatible with forge?

No Sun officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with No Sun – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if No Sun 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.
