BlxckoutFX

A lightweight Minecraft mod that applies a consistent dark theme to buttons and in-game GUI surfaces using shader-based rendering.

By transforming the default white panels into a sleek custom mode, this shader-based solution brings a refined dark aesthetic to your interface everywhere you look, delivering an eye-friendly experience across all screens.

Let darkness fall everywhere for your eyes.

📖 About

This is my very first Minecraft mod. I originally created it because bright and white Minecraft interfaces were uncomfortable for my eyes. After building it for myself, I decided to share it with other players who might want the same kind of darker GUI experience.

BlxckoutFX is intentionally focused: it changes GUI rendering, not the world itself. Menu backgrounds, the Minecraft logo, and mod images are kept intact, while buttons and in-game GUI panels receive the darkening effect.

✨ Features

⚙️ Core Principles

  • Shader-Based: The effect is handled through shader rendering instead of replacing vanilla textures.
  • GUI Focused: The mod targets interface elements only.
  • Lightweight: It avoids extra systems and keeps the feature set focused.
  • Menu-Safe: Main menu backgrounds, logos, and mod list images are not darkened.

🎮 Mod Details

  • Button Darkening in Menus: Menu screens darken buttons only.
  • In-Game GUI Dark Theme: In-game screens can darken both buttons and GUI panels.
  • Shader-Based Visual Styling: No manual shader setup is required.
  • Loader Support: Supports NeoForge and Fabric Loader on this branch.
  • Config Screen: A redesigned, searchable configuration screen with categories, live preset previews, and persistent settings. It is also available through Mod Menu on Fabric.
  • Enhanced Inventory Button: Choose Classic or Short styling, use a corner preset or a custom position, and lock the button when its placement is final.
  • Quick Controls: Left-click cycles forward, right-click cycles backward, middle-click opens the config screen, and drag repositions the unlocked inventory button.
  • AE2 Integration: Dedicated Applied Energistics 2 rendering fixes and a selectable Blxckout/Blackout theme mode for supported 1.21.1+ versions.
  • Compatibility Fixes: Improved JourneyMap, JEI, FTB, and Mod Menu GUI/icon handling so supported elements remain readable and correctly layered.
  • Readable Text Handling: Soft, Balanced, and Dark modes use fixed readable text colors for better consistency.

🌑 Available Themes / Modes

  • ⚪ Off: Disables the visual effect.
  • 🔘 Soft: A lighter darkening mode for subtle interface dimming.
  • ⚫ Balanced: The default mode, designed for regular use.
  • ⬛ Dark: A stronger darkening mode for brighter interfaces.
  • 👁️‍🗨️ Blxckout: The strongest preset for users who want the darkest look.

🖥️ AE2 Themes

  • Off: Disables the dedicated AE2 Blackout effect.
  • Blackout: Applies the dedicated Blackout treatment to supported Applied Energistics 2 screens. It can be toggled directly from the inventory button while an AE2 screen is open.
