Permission| Description| Default "nightvision.use"| Allows players to toggle their own Night Vision| "true" "nightvision.admin"| Allows toggling Night Vision for other players| "op" "nightvision.reload"| Allows reloading the plugin configuration| "op" "nightvision.reset"| Allows resetting the plugin state| "op" "nightvision.*"| Grants all NightVision permissions| "op"

Configuration

NightVision uses a simple YAML configuration.

session-duration: 3600

messages: enabled: "&aNightvision enabled" disabled: "&cNightvision disabled" no-permission: "&cYou don't have permission." player-not-found: "&cPlayer not found." reload: "&aNightVision configuration reloaded." reset: "&aNightVision has been reset." usage: "&eUsage: /nv [player|reload|reset]"

Session Duration

"session-duration" controls how long a Night Vision session remains active.

The value is measured in seconds.

The default value is "3600", which equals 1 hour.

Effect Management

When Night Vision is enabled through the plugin, NightVision applies the Night Vision effect to the player for the active session.

The plugin also handles effect restoration when an active session survives a respawn.

If a player joins without an active NightVision session but already has a Night Vision effect, the plugin removes that effect. This keeps externally applied Night Vision from being treated as an active NightVision session.

Compatibility

Platform: Paper / Bukkit-compatible servers API: Bukkit API "1.19+" Configuration: YAML Database: None required

Lightweight by Design

NightVision focuses on one job: providing convenient Night Vision management without unnecessary systems or dependencies.

No database, external service, or additional dependency is required.
