Shades is an equipment Minecraft mod from UCYT5040 with 418 downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Fabric, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Shades is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Shades already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Shades along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

Shades adds some cool shades. They are craftable, can be worn, give you night vision (at night), and armor stands wearing them will dance to jukebox music.
