What it does

The mod extends the brightness and gamma slider so players can set values above and below the default range. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it. Files are published for Forge, with builds for 1.16.5 – 1.20.2 and 1.20.2 as the latest release, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source. Rubidium is an optional dependency that the mod can work alongside.

Key features

Wider brightness range
The brightness slider accepts values higher and lower than the vanilla default, giving more control over how dark or bright the view looks.
Gamma adjustment
The gamma slider follows the same extended range, so the adjustment works the same way as brightness.
Client-side changes
Only the video settings screen is changed, and the game world and other players are unaffected.
