Enhanced DarknessMinecraft mod for 26.2

Realistic darkness: pitch-black caves and truly dark nights, with the sky, fog and clouds darkened too, so silhouettes won't save you. Optional moonlight that follows the real moon phase. Client-side horror mod, every setting live in game.

Frequently asked

Does Enhanced Darkness work on Minecraft 26.2?

Yes. 26.2 is the newest Minecraft version Enhanced Darkness declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Enhanced Darkness support?

Everything the author has declared, from 26.1 up to 26.2. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Enhanced Darkness on the client or the server?

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

Which platform or loader does Enhanced Darkness support?

Fabric. A build for one platform or loader will not necessarily load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for Enhanced Darkness?

Among the supported Minecraft releases above, the highest recorded requirement is Java 25 or newer. Use the requirement for the exact Minecraft version you run; previews and snapshots may differ.

What licence is Enhanced Darkness under?

MIT, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Enhanced Darkness?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download Enhanced Darkness safely?

MCReference has no release file or checksum recorded for Enhanced Darkness. Check the publisher's Modrinth listing for current downloads and verify the publisher before installing.
