Modern NightVision

NightVision is a lightweight and reliable plugin that gives players full-bright night vision without visible potion particles or bubbles. It is designed for Paper and Spigot-style servers, saves player state across relogs, respawns, world changes, and restarts, and makes sure permission changes are always respected.
