Colors the lightmap to be warmer, decreases visibility during nighttime and in caves and adds sunsets and sunrises. All with no impact on performance…
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
- Makes light source blocks glow with a warmer tint.
- Decreases visibility during nights. Not by much during full moons, but by a lot during new moons (configurable).
- Caves are about 50% darker than in vanilla, making torches more valuable (configurable).
- Night Vision slowly fades out rather than brightly flash.
- Armor Trims glow in the dark (configurable, can be turned on/off).
- Tints the sky blue slightly during the night, increases star size, amount and distribution on the night sky.
- Adds sunsets and sunrises.
Compatiblity:
- Turn off colored ambient lights in Alex's Caves config.
- ETL 1.3.0+: In ETL's config, you can choose to re-enable AC's colored cave lights, however make sure AC's config for it remains disabled! Alex's Caves handles this through a very invasive mixin that can cause plenty of mod incompatibilities!
Credits:
- Originally based on the Nicer Skies mod, expanded later in time.
- Cave and night light amount idea was inpsired by Hardcore Darkness.
