Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks Mod is an addon for Sodium that brings back the vanilla-style shadowy lighting on blocks like dirt paths. Normally, Sodium removes this effect because it’s technically a bug. This mod reintroduces it for players who like the visual depth it provides. Your paths will look more detailed and three-dimensional, just like in the original game.
Features:
- Brings back the smooth, shadowy lighting effect for non-full blocks like dirt paths.
- Lets you change how strong the shadow effect is with a “Shadowyness” setting.
- Choose to apply the effect only to path blocks or to other blocks like farmland, slabs, and stairs.
- Includes an option to use a vanilla-accurate lighting system for path blocks for an authentic look.
