What FlickerFix Does
When the night vision effect drops below ten seconds, the vanilla game makes the screen flicker. FlickerFix changes that behavior. Instead of a jittery flash, the effect fades smoothly once only one second is left. The result is a steadier view as the potion wears off, which can be easier on the eyes during long explorations.
Who Might Want It
If you spend a lot of time in dark caves, the Nether, or night-time builds, the flicker can be distracting. Players who prefer a clean visual experience, especially those who use night vision for navigation or building, will find this mod useful. It doesn't add new gameplay mechanics, so it fits well with any mod pack that aims to keep things simple.
Compatibility Details
FlickerFix runs on the client side only; it does not need to be installed on a server. It works with three major loaders: Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge. Look, the mod lists support for lots of Minecraft versions, from the classic 1.7.10 up through the latest 1.21 releases, including every point release in between that appears in the official record.
Known Incompatibilities
The mod may clash with any other mod that modifies the same rendering method - GameRenderer.getNightVisionBrightness(LivingEntity, float). If you already use a mod that injects a mixin into that method, you might experience conflicts and should test before adding FlickerFix.
Installation Note
Because FlickerFix is client-only, you only need to place the file in your mods folder for the appropriate loader. No additional configuration is required.
Summary
FlickerFix offers a straightforward quality-of-life tweak: it replaces the default night-vision flicker with a quick fade-out at the last second. It runs on Fabric, NeoForge, and Forge, supports many Minecraft versions, and works on the client side. Just watch out for other mods that touch the night-vision brightness rendering method.
