Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

AdvancedDarkness (v2.0 Update) — screenshot 1

Dread transforms the Overworld into a tense, oppressive environment built for horror. Fog swallows the world just a few blocks from your face, nights are pitch black with no stars or clouds to guide you, and all grass and flowers are stripped away — leaving the land bare and unsettling. Render distance is locked, fog thickens as darkness falls, and sleeping or skipping the night snaps the world into daylight instantly. Lightweight, client-friendly, and designed to drop into any horror modpack with configuration.
