![A GIF showing all the possible combinations of toggling the different shading categories.](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/9gx5Xvc5/images/5ee00b3aaac466a42171ab1ebf02a26db7b950f1.gif) *Clarification that Entity shading is now stable and DOES NOT affect the inventory and in-game screens. --- Simply No Shading is a [Fabric]-based [modification] (mod) for the [Minecraft] [client]. This mod removes the darkening on sides or faces (also known as [shading]) to in-game objects such as blocks, clouds, and entities as illustrated above. [Fabric]: https://fabricmc.net [modification]: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mods [Minecraft]: https://minecraft.net [client]: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mods#Client-based [shading]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading ## Compatibility Simply No Shading provides active compatibility for [BedrockIfy] and [Sodium]. Some mods that provide or replace stuff may work such as [Enhanced Block Entities] (EBE), where block entities act like blocks and are affected as such when toggling shading. Some mods that replace rendering are most likely incompatible; exceptions have active support such as Sodium, for example. One example of incompatibility is shaders, usually applied using [Iris], as they may not crash the game but would just render this mod ineffective when they are applied.

Achieved by turning `Options > Video Settings > Shaders... > (internal) > Old Lighting` to `ON`. - [New Lighting 1.18+ (Internal Shaders without Optifine)]. This resource pack achieves the similar results by setting the `shade` flag on block models to `false` (OFF).
