Night Vision is a status effect that primarily enhances the player's ability to see in darkness. It allows the player to see clearly underwater as well.

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, and as such the player can distinguish between light levels.
