*Clarification that Entity shading is now stable and DOES NOT affect the inventory and in-game screens.
—
Simply No Shading is a [Fabric]-based [modification] (mod) for the [Minecraft] [client]. This mod removes the darkening on sides or faces (also known as [shading]) to in-game objects such as blocks, clouds, and entities as illustrated above.

## Compatibility
Simply No Shading provides active compatibility for [BedrockIfy] and [Sodium]. Some mods that provide or replace stuff may work such as [Enhanced Block Entities] (EBE), where block entities act like blocks and are affected as such when toggling shading. Some mods that replace rendering are most likely incompatible; exceptions have active support such as Sodium, for example. One example of incompatibility is shaders, usually applied using [Iris], as they may not crash the game but would just render this mod ineffective when they are applied.

## Similar Solutions
Simply No Shading is not the only effort to removing shading, there are other solutions such as:
– [Flat Lighting] is a simple Fabric mod that achieves the same results for blocks and supports Sodium.
– [internal-shaders](https://modrinth.com/shader/internal-shaders), though unlisted, is a simple Iris shader that removes shading on blocks and entities.
– [Lightingless] is a simple shader that removes shading on blocks and entities.
– [OptiFine]’s old lighting through the internal shader. Achieved by turning `Options > Video Settings > Shaders… > (internal) > Old Lighting` to `ON`.
– [New Lighting 1.18+ (Internal Shaders without Optifine)]. This resource pack achieves the similar results by setting the `shade` flag on block models to `false` (OFF).

## Versions
Simply No Shading follows semantic versioning. This mod aims to maintain the same feature across supported Minecraft versions. Given the version `X.Y.Z` where:
* `X` changes when breaking changes occur, such as with breaking config format changes.
* `Y` changes when features are added or changed (non-breaking).
* `Z` changes for bug and compatibility fixes and may not stay consistent across supported Minecraft versions.
Target versions is currently being reconsidered. Mod version `8.x` will likely only be maintained for the newest versions of the game. `7.x` will still remain maintained for bug-fixing and translations.
Simply No Shading aims to provide support for the latest minor updates to major releases along with some April Fool’s snapshots. All minor releases for the latest major version are supported. The latest snapshot versions also get temporary support before the next major release. Following are all those versions:

**FAQ**
> **How to install resourcepacks?**
– There are a lot of tutorial out there on youtube, that will explain this better than me, but just download something from trusted sites like modrinth or curseforge, then drag this file to folder that will pop out if you click “Open Pack Folder” in Minecraft.
> **Can i use some textures from SimpleGUI in my pack**
– As long as its not distributed, yes you can. If you want to publish it, just ask me before doing it.
> **Will you add compatibility with mods?**
– Yes, im going to do this with popular mods in form of add-on to this pack.
