Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
True Darkness Compat is a Forge 1.20.1 compatibility bridge that makes Grondag's True Darkness mod work correctly with shader packs running under Iris /…
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
True Darkness darkens nights and caves by modifying the vanilla lightmap, but shader packs ignore that texture and recompute lighting themselves — so installing both at once normally produces fully-lit nights with shaders enabled. TDC fixes this for supported shaders.
Also normalizes held-item light values from modded items so a glowing modded item behaves like a vanilla torch instead of out-ranging the pack's falloff math.
The compatible packs are BSL 8.4, Complementary Reimagined & Unbound 5.7.1, Photon 1.3b, Sildur's Vibrant Shaders 1.5.1lite
