Type	Positive

Night Vision is a status effect that enhances the player's ability to see in darkness and underwater.

Effect

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.
