How to get dark mode in Minecraft 1.19 update

There is a way to activate dark mode for the entire UI system in Minecraft 1.19. When players open the game, most menu tab buttons have a gray hue. However, most of the in-game UI will be white or light gray. Even though the bright UI does not cover the entire screen, it can hurt players' eyes during intense gaming sessions.

Dark mode is a famous feature that is used by billions of people around the world in several digital devices and applications. It essentially makes the screen dark and the text white. Dark mode is great for the eyes as constant exposure to a bright screen can be harmful.

Even though there is no vanilla setting in the game to toggle dark mode, the highly active modding community has several resource packs for it.
