You have probably noticed it yourself but its never actually pitch black in minecraft. Even if you are in a cave with no torches you will still be able to see something independent of your gamma setting. This mod changes this, it removes the minimum block & sky light so if there is no light source its actually dark.
Usage:
After you install the mod on your client it will be in mode 0. In that mode it will remove the minimum sky & block light. In the HardcoreDarkness.cfg file you can change the mode to either 1 which will only remove the block light so that while it will be pitch black in unlit caves the surface will still be light up slightly or 2 which will remove block light and make sky light dependent on the moon phase.
