Dynamic Brightness
by Socolio
Dynamic Brightness changes the screen brightness automatically as the surroundings get darker or lighter, so the player does not have to adjust it by hand.
What it does
The mod adds eye adaption, a feature that lifts or lowers the displayed brightness to match the light around the player. Three settings control it: Eye Adaption turns the feature on or off, Eye Adaption Range sets how far the brightness may shift with the environment, and Eye Adaptation Speed sets how quickly the brightness catches up after a change in light.
Dynamic Light Impact sets how strongly dynamic light mods affect the adjusted brightness. The mod gives support for Lamb Dynamic Lights and for the wider dynamic light mod support, and it reads its options through Mod Menu with a Cloth Config screen. Dynamic Brightness runs on Fabric and NeoForge and needs only the client, with no server part.
