Latest release (for outdated Vintage Story v1.19.8):
caverndarkness-1.0.0.zip  1-click install


You are exploring underground, torch in hand, searching for some ores and slowly making yourself deeper in the cavern. Suddenly, you fall into a pool of water, your torch extinguishes and... Huh, hundreds of meters down and I can somehow still make out the cavern walls in this supposed to be complete darkness. Maybe my body emits light?...

 

 

Very small client-side mod which "removes" minimal block light completely.

The key here is that it only changes the shader, therefore the actual light level of the blocks don't change.

 

Notes

  • I'm no expert in shaders and this one here is quite a simple solution. Visual bugs are to be expected.
  • It should be compatible with basically anything except shader mods which change the base lightning and fog shaders.

Does not work on 1.20.x, for anyone curious.

Humans are actually bioluminescent in the extreme darkest of dark

There are no direct conflicts with the volumetric shader mod but I can' guarantee that they are fully compatible either. You can use them together but visual glitches might appear.

So I would assume this would conflict with the volumetric shader mod?
