A lightweight Paper plugin that disables Minecraft’s darkness visual effect for players who choose to opt out — perfect for multiplayer servers.
This plugin is designed for servers only. If you want the same feature in singleplayer, use the Fabric Mod instead.
Installing both the mod and the plugin is unnecessary. Each version is made for its own environment — client mod for singleplayer, plugin for servers.
Remove-Darkness Plugin removes the “darkness” screen overlay that appears in low-light areas or when affected by the Darkness potion or Warden ability. It does not alter lighting, gameplay mechanics, or other players’ experiences — only the visual overlay for the player who opts out.
- Fully compatible with Paper 1.21.10+
- Players can toggle the effect allow / deny / status via
/darknesscommand - Saves each player’s preference automatically
- No config editing or permissions required
- Coexists cleanly with other plugins and effects
