Ready for your server: Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) has versions for Fabric and NeoForge. Create your world with one of those loaders and a version from the table below. The newest option is NeoForge on Minecraft 26.3.

What Sodium Shadowy Path Blocks (SSPB) does

Reintroduces vanilla-like smooth lighting to non-full blocks (e.g. dirt paths and how they have dark shading when directly next to a full block) when using Sodium.

This was mainly made because I liked the shadowyness of the vanilla dirt paths, hence the name.
