📋 About This Mod

I made this mod simply because I wanted to have a darker contrast to cards, and while there are other dark mode mods out there, I did not see them at first so I just decided to make my own set!

This mod features Dark Mode cards for all playing cards, card backs, jokers, planets, spectral, enhancements, boosters, and even tags. Most of these are simply the original cards but inverted, but there are some that have been crafted to have the best looks between the original design and a dark setting.

To use this mod, simply open Balatro.exe with a program like 7-zip, drop the contents of the resources folder inside and play!

Additionally I have included a few Add-Ons for use with other mods, a retexture of the Card Sleeves mod to give them dark mode textures as well, you must download the mod from them first and then replace the file with the sprites in it. https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/430 Full credit to larswijn for the assets for that mod, once again I must say I am only including some alt sprites to make it fit with this mod, in order to use the sleeves mod you MUST download it from larswijn release.

As well as there is a slightly altered set of enhancements for use with the Nicely Color Cards Full Color mod. Since that mod replaces the card textures with flipped textures, it covers up some of the card enhancements and makes it card to see them. This add on makes those, mainly bonus cards, easier to see when playing with that mod also installed. https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/72

I do not know how this mod plays with other mods that actually use the mod loader, I have never made a Balatro mod before so I am sure that I could do this a lot more optimally, but this is how I know to make the mod so this is how it is in its 1. 0 state.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy this mod, and may all your runs be successful!

Also huge thanks to the couple members of the Balatro Modding Discord for the help with the shaders edits I had to do, I would have been completely lost without you and would not have been able to include the cool inverted additions you made possible. Thank you chaseoqueso & Amaryllis especially.
