I'm working on a mod based off a story I'm writing, in the story there's a place called "The Void" that's literally pitch black and you can only see via goggles that will map out the terrain for you. I made a custom dimension for The Void, and it is indeed pitch black, but I have no clue how to make goggles that would allow the player to see the terrain.
I was thinking a pulse that gets sent out, maybe the fog color changes if you wear it, maybe something like a lidar scanner but I feel that would hurt performance real bad. Let me know if there are any ideas and how I would go about implementing something like that!
depending on how you did the dimension, (like possibly giving the player blindness or darkness for the pitch black effect) you could allow the glasses to remove the effects that make it pitch black, have an overlay that is slightly transparent but still reduce visibility if they have too much vision?
unfortunately I did it by making all the blocks and sky pitch black, the goal is to have everything pitch black without the glasses but builds and flora are still visible from a distance, thus why blindness wouldn’t work 😢
I thought about spawning a block display at the players location that grows while you’re inside it, the edges of the block showing the terrains shape
