download Skip to Downloads

Night Vision Resource Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) transforms Minecraft’s lighting by simulating the effect of a permanent night vision potion allowing players to see clearly in complete darkness without using commands or brewing potions. Whether you’re mining deep underground, exploring caves, or navigating the Nether, this pack eliminates the need for torches or artificial lighting, giving you full visibility across all biomes and dimensions.

This resource pack is ideal for players who prioritize convenience or are engaged in high-efficiency gameplay such as speedrunning, cave exploration, or Redstone builds. It maintains Minecraft’s default look and uses no external textures, ensuring clean performance. However, it requires OptiFine to function and is not compatible with shaders, which override the game’s lighting engine.

Why use Night Vision Resource Pack?

With lightweight performance and plug-and-play simplicity, it’s one of the most useful utility packs available.

FAQs

Does this pack require OptiFine?

Yes. OptiFine is required for the full brightness effect to work. Without it, the pack has no visual impact.

Can I use this with shaders?

No. Most shaders override the game’s lighting system, so the pack’s brightness won’t take effect while shaders are active.

Will mobs still spawn in the dark?

Yes. The pack only affects what *you* see—it does not change mob spawning mechanics, which are still based on light level.

Is this allowed on servers?

That depends on the server. Some may consider it cheating, especially in competitive or survival games. Always check server rules.

Does it affect performance?

No. It’s a very lightweight pack that only changes lighting, so it runs smoothly even on low-end hardware.
