LightVision

Lightweight night vision plugin — let players toggle it themselves, or control, block and automate it as staff.

LightVision

See in the dark. On your terms.

Lightweight night vision management plugin — toggle, control, block and automate, all from a single config.yml.

✨ Features

Feature	Description
Self-Toggle Command	Players turn their own night vision on/off with `/lv`. No permissions plugin required.
Staff Control	Turn night vision on/off for any online player with `/lv <player> [on/off]`.
Block & Unblock	Lock a specific player out of night vision entirely with `/lv block`, and lift it again with `/lv unblock`. Works even for offline players.
Bypass Permission	Give trusted staff `lv.bypass.block` so they can't be blocked by other admins.
World Blacklist	Automatically disable and block night vision in specific worlds (Nether, event maps, etc.).
Darkness Trigger	Night vision switches on automatically once the light level drops below a threshold — perfect for caves.
Soft Fade Transition	A brief blindness flash when night vision turns off or gets blocked, so the switch to darkness doesn't feel jarring.
Remember State	Player state survives rejoins and server restarts.
MiniMessage Support	Every message supports hex colors, gradients and `<rainbow>` — chat, actionbar or title, your choice.
Actionbar Mode	Show feedback in the actionbar instead of chat, if you prefer a cleaner look.
Title Feedback	Optional on-screen titles for toggling, blocking and unblocking.
Persistent Data	Player states and block lists are saved to `data.yml` and restored on startup.
bStats Metrics	Anonymous usage statistics — view stats.
`/lv reload`	Reload the config without restarting the server.
