Old Description
In Minecraft 1.21.9 Mojang changed how night vision works for the worse. They made it so that it always uses moody lighting for night vision calcuations. This resourcepack uses core shaders to revert this change. Fixes MC-301543
This pack may not work with other shaders that modify the same shader I used such as fullbright
Written by Bluebird. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Night Vision Fix in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
