No Blindness Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why can I still see when a blindness potion hits me?
No Blindness Shaders removes the pitch-black screen overlay that normally appears during blindness effects, so your view stays clear and you can navigate normally. The blindness status effect still applies to your character, but the visual darkening is gone.
Does this mod work in Elder Guardian fights?
Yes, the mod prevents the dark screen fade that Elder Guardians trigger when they hit you, letting you see and fight back without the vision obstruction. You'll still take damage and receive the blindness effect, but your screen won't go black.
Will this mod break my vanilla world or survival mode?
No, the mod only changes how blindness appears visually and doesn't alter world generation, block behavior, or survival mechanics. Your worlds and progress remain completely compatible.
Can I use this with other shader packs?
No Blindness Shaders is designed to work independently and may conflict with full shader packs that heavily modify rendering. Check compatibility with your specific shader pack, as some may override or clash with the bloom effects.
Does the bloom effect work on all light sources?
The mod adds soft bloom to torches and glow blocks as part of its gentle lighting enhancement. Other light sources may have varying levels of bloom depending on their brightness and the mod's settings.
Will this mod lag my computer?
No, the mod runs lightweight code and is designed to work smoothly even on low-end hardware without dropping frame rate. It's optimized to add visual features without performance cost.
What happens if I get hit by multiple blindness potions at once?
The screen will remain clear regardless of how many blindness effects stack on your character. The mod removes the visual overlay entirely, so multiple potions won't create a darker effect.
Does this affect the blindness status effect itself or just the visuals?
The mod only removes the visual darkening—the blindness status effect still functions normally on your character, including any gameplay consequences. You just won't see the black screen overlay.
Can I turn the bloom effects on or off?
Check your mod configuration files or in-game settings menu for bloom toggle options. The exact method depends on your mod loader and installation setup.
Does this work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod is client-side only, so it works on multiplayer servers without requiring the server to install it. Other players won't see any changes to their own blindness effects.
