Dark Mode Everywhere in Project Infinity 0.1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 2.12 guide

Dark Mode Everywhere gives you dark GUIs across the game. It uses the built-in 1.18 Minecraft shaders to turn GUI textures into a dark version, so it works in any GUI, not just vanilla screens. It also tries to adjust text colors so nothing becomes hard to read in dark mode.^[1]

It's a quality-of-life mod, so it's for anyone who spends long sessions in inventories, machine screens and menus and wants something easier on the eyes. It's MIT licensed.^[1]

Switching modes

The mod currently ships with 3 dark modes. You change between them with the button at the bottom left of the screen.^[1]

If you like tinkering, you can add new GUI shaders by editing the "darkmodeeverywhereshaders.json" file. You do that through a resource loader mod or a resource pack.^[1]

Fixing visual glitches

The mod has a shader blacklist. It's a list of class and method names, or any part of them, that stop the dark shader from being applied. The mod's own default list covers things like the crosshair, hotbar, hunger bar, experience bar, sky and title screen. There's also a dump option, off by default in the mod, that logs every 5 seconds which classes and methods were drawing something while the dark shader tried to apply. It helps you find the name to add if one element looks wrong.^[1]

In this pack

This version of the pack includes Dark Mode Everywhere 1.21-1.3.4. The mod was already in the pack by version 0.32 or earlier.^[2]

Unverified The sources show no quests, crafting or progression role for this mod, including on the ATM Star path. It is not on that path, so you can use it whenever you like.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Good news: Dark Mode Everywhere doesn't need a crafting chain. There's nothing to build first, so this section is about switching it on and tuning it to your taste.^[1]

The mod uses the built-in 1.18 Minecraft shaders to turn GUI textures into a dark mode. Because it works through shaders, it can apply to pretty much any GUI in the game. It also tries to change text colors so they stay readable on the darker background.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Open a GUI and look for the button on the bottom left. The mod currently uses it to change between its dark modes.^[1]
2. Click that button to switch between the 3 dark modes the mod currently provides, and stop on the one that's easiest on your eyes.^[1]
3. If something looks off or the text is hard to read, report it. The mod author asks players to report visual issues so they can be fixed.^[1]

Fixing things that shouldn't be dark

If the dark shader is hitting something you'd rather leave alone, the mod has a blacklist option called METHOD_SHADER_BLACKLIST. Each entry is a class and method name, or just part of one, that stops the dark shader from being used there. For example, using just renderHunger would keep the hunger bar from getting the dark shader.^[1]

The mod's documented default blacklist already covers things like the crosshair, the title screen, the sky, the hotbar, food and the experience bar. It also includes one JEI fluid tank rendering method.^[1]

Going further

If you want to add new GUI shaders, the mod lets you do it by editing darkmodeeverywhereshaders.json and loading your version through a resource pack or a resource loader mod.^[1]

Same as in the All the Mods 10: To the Sky 2.0.4 guide

Dark Mode Everywhere is not a machine or automation mod. It has no power, fluid or item handling to set up. What it does is change how GUIs look: it uses the built-in 1.18 Minecraft shaders to turn any GUI texture into a dark mode.^[1]

How the dark mode works

Because the mod works through shaders, it can apply to any GUI in the game rather than a fixed list of screens. It also tries to change the text color when the original text would be hard to read on a dark background.^[1]

Switching between modes

The mod currently provides 3 dark modes. You change between them by clicking the button on the bottom left.^[1]

Adding your own GUI shaders

If you want more looks, you can add new GUI shaders by modifying "darkmodeeverywhereshaders.json". You do that with a Resource Loader mod or a Resource Pack.^[1]

Shader blacklist and dump

The mod has a method blacklist that stops the dark shader from being used on certain things. Each entry is a string made of a class and a method, or just any part of one. For example, using just renderHunger would stop the hunger bar from getting the dark shader. The mod's project page shows a default list, which is the mod's default and not necessarily this pack's value.^[1]

• The default blacklist on the project page includes renderCrosshair, renderHotbar, renderFood and renderExperienceBar, so the HUD elements stay as they are.^[1]
• It also lists renderSky, setupOverlayRenderState, the whole ForgeGui class and net.minecraft.client.gui.screens.TitleScreen.^[1]
• One entry targets the JEI fluid tank renderer (the drawTextureWithMasking method), which keeps fluid tank drawing in JEI out of the dark shader.^[1]

To find out what to blacklist, there is a dump option. When it is turned on, it dumps every 5 seconds which classes and methods were used to render something on screen while the dark shader was trying to be used. It is off by default. Entries in the dump look like net.minecraftforge.client.gui.overlay.ForgeGui:renderHunger (class:method), and you can copy any part of one into the blacklist.^[1]

Unverified Whether this pack changes the blacklist or the dump setting is unverified: the sources here include no config file for this mod in the pack, so only the defaults from the mod's project page are shown above.

Everything for this mod lives in one client file, config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml. There are only a few options, and they fall into two groups: where the buttons sit, and which screens the dark shader leaves alone.^[3]

Button placement

• [[config:config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml#Inventory Button.X]] is 8 in this pack. It is the distance in pixels from the left of the GUI.^[3]
• [[config:config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml#Inventory Button.Y]] is 80 in this pack. It is the distance in pixels from the bottom of the GUI.^[3]
• [[config:config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml#Main Menu Button.MAIN_X]] and [[config:config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml#Main Menu Button.MAIN_Y]] are both 40 in this pack. They set the main menu button's distance from the left and from the bottom.^[3]
• [[config:config/darkmodeeverywhere-client.toml#Main Menu Button.SHOW]] is false in this pack. The file describes this option as "Enabled", so the main menu button is switched off here.^[3]

The mod's project page says it currently provides 3 dark modes, which you can change by clicking the button at the bottom left.^[1]

The shader blacklist

METHOD_SHADER_BLACKLIST is a list of class:method strings for render methods that the dark shader will not be applied to. You can use just a part of a string, so a short name like renderFood is enough to block the matching ForgeGui method.^[3]

This pack ships a longer list than the example on the mod's project page. It keeps the HUD pieces out of the shader, such as renderCrosshair, renderHotbar, renderFood and renderExperienceBar, plus renderSky and the ForgeGui class. It also adds entries for the JEI fluid tank renderer, the world and server list entries, the menu panorama (CubeMap), the AppleSkin HUD overlay handler and the pack menu screen. The project page example also lists the vanilla TitleScreen class, which is not in this pack's list.^[1][3]

Finding what to blacklist

METHOD_SHADER_DUMP is false in this pack. When you turn it on, the mod dumps every 5 seconds the methods that rendered GUIs the dark shader was applied to.^[1][3]

1. Set the dump option to true.^[3]
2. Open the screen that looks wrong in dark mode and look for its class:method string in the dump.^[3]
3. Add that string, or a distinctive part of it, to the blacklist.^[3]
4. Set the dump option back to false when you are done.^[3]

Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 ships Dark Mode Everywhere 1.20.1-1.2.5. The mod was first included in Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.45.4 or earlier, so it has been in the pack for a good while.^[4]

The mod's own changelogs for 1.20.1-1.2.4 and 1.20.1-1.2.5 are the two most recent releases on record. The 1.2.5 build is the one you are running in this pack version.^[4][5][6]

Unverified The changelog entries for 1.20.1-1.2.4 and 1.20.1-1.2.5 give no description of what changed between them, and no pack changelog entries mention this mod, so the specific changes in each release are unconfirmed.
