Since Infinite Craft’s launch at the end of January, numerous fans have fallen in love with the minimalist crafting experience, but one of the most requested features had seemingly been for a Dark Mode. Multiple users even developed Dark Mode mods that required the Stylus Browser extension. But now, the game’s creator has rolled out an official Dark Mode for Infinite Craft anybody can toggle with a simple button press.
“Added dark mode!” developer Neal Agarwal tweeted out Monday morning.
Now, in between the coffee cup icon and the paintbrush icon on the bottom-right of the screen, users can toggle between Light and Dark Modes with the moon icon. The small dots still drift around in the background in the main window, except rather than light grey dots on the stark white background, they look like stars in outer space.
Agarwal also confirmed in a follow-up tweet that the game hit a new peak of 77,000 concurrent players on Friday.
Since launch, he’s proven adept at listening to player feedback and implementing the features players want to see the most. Within a week of the game’s release, Agarwal added saving and searching and asked players what other features they might want to see. At least one person replied with “DARK MODE” in all caps. Less than a week later, he confirmed he’d been spending most of his time and energy simply maintaining servers as the game surged in popularity. By February 13, he’d shifted his focus back to adding new features.
Agarwal has presumably had to devote a considerable amount of his resources to server maintenance since the number of concurrent players has more than doubled over the last two weeks. As such, he only just implemented dark mode on February 26.
What other features remain in the pipeline? Some of the most common suggestions in the replies to Agarwal’s tweets amount to quality-of-life improvements to the UI, like being able to create folders to bundle different crafted items or at least favorite some of the more useful ones. It's unclear what might launch next within the game, but Infinite Craft is only getting better and better.
