True Darkness Refabricated Mod 1.20–1.21.1

True Darkness Refabricated is a fork of GrondagTheBarbarian's True Darkness mod, updated for Fabric 1.20.1 and newer versions. Its purpose is to make moonless nights and unlit caverns pitch black, addressing users who find vanilla moody brightness insufficient. This fork specifically maintains the original functionality for newer game versions and resolves compatibility issues with Distant Horizons. It also introduces server-side features, including config syncing. Mod Menu is an optional component.

The mod's primary visual effect is client-side only; it is not required on the server to function. However, installing it on a server provides additional functionality such as configuration synchronization. This mod achieves its darkening effect by modifying the vanilla lightmap. It does not work with shaders, as shaders typically disregard these lightmap modifications. For a similar experience with shaders, ComplementaryShaders offers options for dark caves and moon-phase-affected lighting.
