In addition to maintaining the mod for newer versions, this fork also fixes compatibility issues with Distant Horizons and adds some server-side functionality, such as config syncing.

Dependencies:

Optional: Mod Menu

Note that the mod itself and its effect is only required client-side to function, though it does have some additional functionality when installed on a server.

FAQ:

Question: Does this mod work with shaders?

• Answer: No it doesn't. This mod achieves the darkening by modifying the vanilla lightmap, which shaders typically disregard entirely. If you are looking for a similar experience with shaders, ComplementaryShaders happens to include options to make caves completely dark as well as having moon-phases affect lighting.

Question: Does this mod need to be on the server too?

• Answer: Nope. The visual effects of this mod is entirely client-side. However, installing it on the server will unlock additional functionality like config synchronization.
