Description
Pure Darkness
Pure Darkness is a resource pack designed to make Minecraft’s darkness feel real. Nights become significantly darker, and caves plunge into true, near-total darkness, forcing you to rely on torches and other light sources to navigate the world.
This pack is perfect for players looking for a more immersive and challenging experience, where exploring at night or venturing underground requires preparation and caution.

Features
- Darker nights that make the overworld more dangerous and atmospheric
- True darkness in caves, where unlit areas become almost completely black
- Light sources become essential for safe exploration
- Compatible with the Night Vision effect, so potions and commands still work normally
- Compatible with LambDynamicLights - Dynamic Lights, allowing held light sources to illuminate your surroundings
- Hardcore-style gameplay that increases the overall difficulty and tension
Simple Installation
Pure Darkness is a resource pack, not a mod or datapack. This means no mod loader, no additional files, and no complicated setup.
