Default Dark Mode: Patcher
ModrinthA Client-Side Minecraft Mod that Patches and Modifies the “Default Dark Mode” resource pack for Newer Minecraft Versions.
ARCHIVED (APRIL 4, 2026)
This Modrinth project on Modrinth has been temporarily archived because the original resource pack, https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/default-dark-mode, is now up-to-date as of this writing, making the Default Dark Mode: Patcher unnecessary. However, if the resource pack becomes inactive or doesn't receive updates, I will eventually return to this mod if needed!
About
This Client-Side Minecraft Mod is designed to patch and modify the Default Dark Mode resource pack, aiming to be up to par with Newer Minecraft versions & Default Dark Mode: Expansion Add-On.

Aric3435 - The creator of the Default Dark Mode: Patcher mod.
NebuIr - The creator of the Default Dark Mode resource pack.
Vi_Tul - Updated the Shader Files (rendertype_text.fsh & rendertype_text_intensity.fsh) for 25w19a+ (1.21.6-1.21.8) - Removed in "Default Dark Mode: Patcher v1.2.0+".
Update: DDM 2026.2.0
NebuIr published an update to the resource pack for 1.21.6-1.21.11 https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/default-dark-mode/version/2026.2.0-1.21.11 but that doesn't make the patcher useless yet, the patcher allows it to support Minecraft 26.1 Snapshots! But when I do start the update v1.3.3 of the mod, it will target the latest release of the resource pack & remove the duplicate textures it adds!
How to use
- Install Default Dark Mode: Patcher
- Start the game—the patcher will automatically uncompress the zip file, apply the files I mentioned above, and recompress it.
- Once patched, uninstall Default Dark Mode: Patcher—it’s mostly just a one-time-use tool designed to modify the Resource Pack.
