🌑 Auto Darkness

Players enable it with /nv auto. Then the plugin:

  • ✅ Turns Night Vision on when the light level is low (caves) or at night
  • ✅ Turns it off when the player comes back to the light
  • ✅ Stays separate from manual mode, so it never turns off what you enabled yourself
  • ✅ Checks every 2 seconds by default, so it stays light on the server
  • ✅ Fully adjustable: light levels, interval, night counts as dark or not

Setting · Meaning
light-level · At or below this, Night Vision turns on
light-level-off · At or above this, it turns off
night-counts-as-dark · Treat night in the overworld as dark
check-interval-ticks · How often to check (40 = 2 seconds)


🖱️ Settings Menu

Open it with /nv settings:

Button · Action
🟢 Night Vision · Turn on or off
🕒 Auto Mode · Turn Auto Darkness on or off
📖 Language · Switch between English and Arabic (admins only)
🔴 Close · Close the menu


🧩 PlaceholderAPI

Optional. It hooks in automatically when PlaceholderAPI is installed.

Placeholder · Output
%cnightvision_enabled% · true or false
%cnightvision_status% · ON or OFF (translated)
%cnightvision_auto% · Is Auto mode enabled?
%cnightvision_blocked% · Is the player blocked?

🛡️ Safety & Performance

  • 🔒 Data saved by UUID, so name changes never break anything
  • 🪶 Auto mode uses a slow timer, not a per-tick check
  • 🤝 Never removes a Night Vision effect that it did not apply
  • 🧹 Tasks are cancelled cleanly when the plugin stops
  • 🧩 Uses only the Bukkit/Spigot API, no NMS

❓ FAQ

Does it need PlaceholderAPI? No, it is optional.

Does it work with other plugins? Yes, it only uses the Bukkit/Spigot API.

Can I change the language? Yes: set language: ar or en in config.yml, then /nv reload.

I updated and the messages look old. Delete lang_en.yml and lang_ar.yml so they regenerate.

Which versions work? Use the file that matches your Minecraft version (see the Versions table).
