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.
Credits
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.

- This Update fixes [Issue #1: Check the Hashing of the Resource Pack](https://github.com/aricloverEXTRA/Default-Dark-Mode-Patcher/issues/1):**
- In v1.2.0 and below, the patcher would always re‑patch on startup.
- In v1.3.0, the patcher now verifies the pack with a SHA‑256 hash and only patches once.
- meaning, it doesn't have to be uninstalled after patching the resource pack anymore.
- Added Backups:**
- The original
Default-Dark-Mode-1.21.6-2025.6.0.zipis now preserved as a.zip.bak. - This ensures the original pack is always safe and can be used or patched again if needed.
- Patched Output:**
- The patched pack is now saved as
Default-Dark-Mode-25w42a-2025.10.0.zip. - pack.mcmeta Update:**
- Updated to Mojang’s new
[major, minor]format for 1.21.9+. - Now uses
[70, 1]for 25w42a snapshot compatibility. - Supported range updated from
63 (1.21.6)up to70.1 (25w42a).
