This resource pack makes blocks smoothly become less colorful when they have less block light. Sky light doesn't affect this, only block light. Please note — this resource pack applies only to most of the blocks. Entities, some block entities, particles and other stuff will not be affected due to a different lighting method. Maybe I'll try to make entities and block entities work in the future.
You can also adjust radius and smoothness of how light will colorize blocks.
Go into the resource pack into a file assets/minecraft/shaders/include/no_light_no_color.glsl. You can change the numbers in the first 2 lines. The variables don't work very intuitively so just play around until you are comfortable with the result.
Radius variable here is set to 82:
Written by SuperAnt_. 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 No Light 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.
