- 🕐 Optional Day/Night Cycle (or classic always-FullDark) with a customizable on-screen clock (12-hour by default).
- 👀 Night vision binoculars + ghost vision / ghost glow for the afterlife.
- 🎨 Soft compatibility with TimeTheme — UI day/night themes follow Pitch Black’s cycle; our clock matches TimeTheme colors when installed.
- 🗣️ Find the mod in the Peak Modding Discord under #mod-releases
- Play with Scoutmasters Rampage for an even scarier experience.
- You can give the Scoutmaster a lantern to hold (Rampage) and an always-lit hip lantern from Pitch Black — no player inventory required. Lantern itemID =
42. - Customizable CLOCK — 12hr or military time, day phases, layout, and colors (see screenshots).

BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Pitch_Black_PEAK.cfg
Works great with ModConfig for in-game tweaking. Most settings apply live; host changes broadcast to the lobby.
Host-synced (examples): Darkness preset, cycle hours, celestial sky, lantern intensity/range/color/burn, gloom aura, StartWithLantern, HipLantern, ScoutmasterHipLantern + Scoutmaster lantern color, campfire/flare glow, character light disable
Local only: ModeToggleKey, clock HUD layout/colors/position
Optional soft dependency: TimeTheme (not required)
📦 Installation
Manual
- Install BepInEx (if not already).
- Copy
Pitch Black.dlltoBepInEx/plugins/. - Run the game once to generate the config.
- (Optional) Customize settings in the config or ModConfig menu.
Thunderstore
🔥 Use Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman for one-click install 🔥
Tip: For the best multiplayer experience, everyone in the lobby should run the same Pitch Black PEAK version. If only clients have the mod, they will restore vanilla lighting after the host handshake fails.

- 🔦 Community lifeline: Huge thanks to Hnsk_Noah for BlackPeakRemix, which kept the Pitch Black experience alive and evolving while I was away. The 2.0.0 revival adapted ideas from Remix including colored lanterns, improved lantern / environment networking, ghost glow & ghost vision, campfire/flare glow, burn-duration options, and host-sync patterns — rebuilt into the official Pitch Black PEAK codebase.
