In this article, we showcase how to install the most popular and downloaded night vision texture pack in Minecraft.

1. Jarfix

The very first step is to install Jarfix. Even if you have installed it in the past, I recommend re-installing the latest version. Without Jarfix, or with an outdated version of Jarfix, any downloaded MC mods, texture packs, and maps will not launch successfully.

This button link is for Windows users only. If you use a different system, search on Google for ‘Java (whichever system you use)’.

2. Optifine

We recommend downloading Optifine as well as the night vision resource pack to provide a better visual experience on MC.

Ensure you install the same Optifine and Night Vision versions. So in this instance, I’ll be installing both in 1.21.4.

3. Night Vision Resource Pack

Click the button above which takes you through to the night vision modpack installation page. Click on ‘Files’ and then you need to match the game version column to the same Forge version you just installed. So in this example, I need to install a 1.21.4 version. You then need to match the Mod Loader column to Forge. If you are still unsure, you can filter your search to ‘1.21.4’ and ‘Forge’ above the mod file list.

4. Minecraft Mods Folder

You have installed the night vision mod but we now need to move it into our Minecraft Resource Packs folder. To locate our resource packs folder, type %appdata% into your Windows search bar. Then select your Roaming Folder, then your Minecraft Folder, then Resource Packs. Keep this folder open whilst opening your downloads folder. Then drag and drop, or copy and paste the Night Vision texture pack into your Minecraft Resource Packs folder.

5. Launching MC

Once you have followed these 4 steps, you’re ready to go. Open your MC launcher and click Launch Forge 1.21.4.
