# NightVision<\/p>\n

A simple mod that allows you to turn night vision on and off with the press of a key.<\/p>\n

![Night Vision on vs. off](https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/knGqFvV.gif)<\/p>\n

This mod essentially enables the same lightmaps that are used for the real Night Vision effect without actually getting the effect. As a result, this mod is a completely client-side mod and requires no server installation.<\/p>\n

Certainly, it’s not recommended for normal play, but it is extremely useful when doing creative work and exploring worlds in spectator mode (or creative no-clip mode in the Carpet mod). It allows you to see the entire cave network at once. <\/p>\n

The key (default is N) can be changed in the Miscellaneous section of the Controls settings.<\/p>\n

The hotkey is set in the Controls settings under Miscellaneous. The default key is N.<\/p>\n

**Starting in 1.0.5 this should now work correctly even with a shader** installed (tested with Sodium\/Iris\/Complementary Reimagined)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
