A few things to know.

Do I need Minecraft?

Daylight does not include a Minecraft license. Use a Microsoft account that owns Minecraft: Java Edition for authenticated play.

Will my instances survive an update?

Normal desktop updates retain your instances and settings. Install over the existing application, and back up important worlds before updating.

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

New instances start at Minecraft 1.19. Existing older instances remain. The in-game Daylight mod needs a build matching your game version; not every version or mod combination has been tested.

How do I report a problem?

Visit our Discord or GitHub issues. Include your operating system, Minecraft version, loader and relevant logs. Remove passwords and account tokens before sharing logs.
