chrissi's Night Vision

chrissi's Night Vision is a lightweight client-side utility mod that allows you to toggle the night vision effect with a keybind.

Gives you Minecraft's built-in night vision instead of just boosting brightness, so you keep the original lighting and full shader support; all in a very lightweight way.

Please note: This mod is Java Edition only and exclusively hosted on Modrinth. The source code is available on GitHub. If you'd like to get in touch, feel free to join my Discord server.

Another note: A new version is actively in development. Because of major changes in Minecraft 26.1, the mod is being fully rewritten, bringing better performance, stability, and long-term maintainability.

How to Use

Press V (default keybind) to toggle night vision on or off.

To change the keybind, go to Options → Controls → Miscellaneous and look for "Toggle Night Vision".

You can customize the mod's behavior by editing the config file located at:

config/chrissi-night-vision.json

Note: You need to restart Minecraft after changing the config file for changes to take effect.

Mod Menu integration is being considered for the full release, but for now, manual config editing keeps the mod lightweight and dependency-free.

Server Usage & Legality

⚠️ Use at your own risk!

My mod should generally be allowed on most servers, as it only provides the vanilla night vision effect. However, some servers may explicitly ban gamma mods or similar brightness modifications. Always check the server rules before using.
