Adaptive Brightness Updated

by owenxm

Adaptive Brightness Updated is a Fabric client mod that changes the game's brightness according to the light level of the block the player is standing on.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19 – 1.21.11

What it does

Brightness shifts as the light level under the player changes, so the screen adjusts without the player touching the gamma setting. The mod is installed on the client only, and a server does not need it. Configuration is edited in a file, which requires Mod Menu to reach from the game.

Key features

  1. Light-based brightness

    The display brightness follows the light level of the block the player is standing on.

  2. Dynamic adjustment

    Brightness changes while the player moves between dark caves and lit areas.

  3. Recent game versions

    Builds cover 1.19 – 1.21.11, with 1.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.

What the author says

this mod dynamically changes the brightness level of minecraft based on the light level of the block you're standing on. for configuration editing, you'll need Mod Menu. this mod is currently only available for fabric, I won't personally make a forge port. If anyone wants one, they're free to port it themselves.
