Description from the author on Modrinth

NO LONGER NEEDED IN 26.1+
Use Boosted Brightness if you want it to be brighter and full bright

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

How to install Night Vision Fix

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Night Vision Fix in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
