Description from the author on Modrinth

Adds Night Vision Goggles. Put them on and you see in the dark, like with a Night Vision potion, for as long as you wear them.

How it works

  • Wear the goggles in the helmet slot (right-click or equip in the inventory). Take them off and night vision is gone.
  • Works in caves, at night and underwater.
  • It is not a potion effect: no icon, no timer, milk does not remove it.
  • No armor points, no durability, cannot be enchanted.
  • Dispensers put the goggles on players and armor stands.

Recipe

3 leather, 2 glass panes, a gold ingot and a golden carrot.

На русском

Добавляет очки ночного видения. Надел — и видишь в темноте, как с зельем ночного зрения, пока они на тебе.

Как работает

  • Очки надеваются в слот шлема (ПКМ или в инвентаре). Снял — ночное зрение пропало.
  • Работают в пещерах, ночью и под водой.
  • Это не эффект зелья: нет значка и таймера, молоко его не снимает.
  • Защиты нет, прочности нет, не зачаровываются.
  • Раздатчик надевает очки на игроков и стойки для брони.

Рецепт

3 кожи, 2 стеклянные панели, золотой слиток и золотая морковь.
