Fog

You cannot see very far any more. Anywhere.

Six blocks of clarity in the overworld, four in the nether, three in the end. Beyond that there is nothing but the colour of the air.

For Minecraft 26.2 (Fabric).

Installing

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2.
2. Put fog-1.0.0.jar and Fabric API in your mods folder:
   • Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods
   • Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods

This one has to go on the client. Fog is drawn entirely by your own machine, so unlike most of these mods a server cannot impose it on anybody. It loads harmlessly on a server and simply has nothing to do there — everyone who should be lost needs it installed.

Works on any world. Nothing is changed, only hidden.

How thick

The sky and clouds are fogged out too, by default. Without that the horizon stays crisp above the murk and you can still navigate by it, which rather defeats the point.

Everything is applied as a limit rather than a replacement, so vanilla's own water, lava and blindness fog — all of which are already closer than anything here — behave exactly as they always did.

Playing it

• You will get lost. That is the mod. Bring a compass, and learn to use coordinates.
• Torches become breadcrumbs, because you can only see the next one.
• Mobs arrive before you see them. Skeletons shoot you out of nothing.
• Caves barely change, which makes going underground feel oddly safe for once.
• The end is genuinely disorienting, because there is no ground texture to orient against and the void looks identical to the fog.
• It pairs brutally with Big Brother or Mobility, which let things find you that you cannot see coming.

Settings

A file appears at config/fog.json the first time you run the mod — on each client, since that is where the fog lives.

Raising the end values to something like 16 / 80 gives a moody haze rather than a blindfold, if the default turns out to be more than you wanted.
