Fullbright No Shading
by Remumodrinth
Fullbright No Shading is a client-side Fabric mod that brightens the view and turns off shading for blocks, clouds and entities.
What it does
The mod lets a player toggle a fullbright lighting mode and set its strength with a slider that reaches 1200%. Block, cloud and entity shading each have their own option, so the caves, villages, items, fluids and mobs can be drawn with a flatter, sharper look. Settings are saved automatically between sessions.
The mod is built to sit beside the Cloth Config API and Fabric API, which supply its configuration screen. Mod Menu is optional and adds a link to the settings from the mod list. Because it only changes rendering on the client, a server does not need it and players join without installing anything extra.
Files are published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, and the newest build targets 26.2. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Toggleable fullbright
Fullbright can be switched on and off, so the normal lighting returns without a restart.
Strength slider
A slider scales the fullbright effect up to 1200%, letting each player pick how bright the world looks.
Separate shading options
Block, cloud and entity shading can be turned off individually, which changes how those objects are lit.
Configuration screen
Settings open in a Cloth Config screen, and changes are kept after the game closes.

Use cases
Dim caves and night builds
Players who build or explore underground areas can raise the light level so blocks and mobs stay readable.
Flatter visuals
Turning off block and entity shading gives a uniform look that some players prefer for screenshots.
Who it’s for: Players who want a brighter, flatter view of the world. The mod runs only on the client and is not meant for server owners to install.
How it compares
Disable Lighting is a Fabric mod that is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and published for 1.21 – 26.3. Simple Fullbright is Fabric-only, client-side only, under the MIT License and released only for 1.16.1, so it lacks the shading options. Shiru's Improvements is a Fabric mod for 1.21 that needs the client and leaves the server optional, and it is not open source.
