Night Vision
Night Vision is a status effect that enhances the player's ability to see in darkness and underwater.
Effect[edit]
Night vision greatly increases the brightness, so the player can easily see in a light level of 0. However, it is not as bright as a light level of 15, similar to sky light level 14, and as such the player can distinguish between light levels.
