About this Mod
Spectator Night Vision (Toggleable)
Exploring in Spectator mode but struggling to see in the dark? This data pack gives you automatic night vision when switching to Spectator mode, making caves, ocean depths, and the Deep Dark much easier to explore. Unlike other night vision packs, this one is fully toggleable, so you can turn it on or off whenever you like.
Features:
- Toggleable Night Vision – Use
/trigger spec_nvto enable or disable it at any time. (Sometimes the "On" message won't show due to the way the toggle mechanic works) - Toggleable for the entire server – Using /trigger spec_nv only applies to the player(s) who run the command. To enable/disable it for the entire server, do /function spectator_nv:on/off
- Automatic Activation – If enabled, night vision turns on when you enter Spectator mode and turns off when you leave.
- Lightweight & Performance-Friendly – Designed to work smoothly in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
- Server-Friendly – Works great for admins, moderators, or players who just want an easier time exploring.
- Automatic deactivation – Automatically deactivates when switching out of spectator or turning the pack off.
No more struggling to see in dark caves or underwater!
Enjoy!
