Vanilla Fullbright
by samadc
Vanilla Fullbright is a Fabric client mod that raises the brightness limit of the game's gamma slider for version 26.2.
What it does
The mod lets the brightness option go up to 500 percent, restoring a higher range that later game versions removed. Players can also set the gamma value directly in options.txt, for example Gamma=5.0, instead of using the slider. Only the client needs it, so players join servers without installing anything.
Key features
Brightness up to 500 percent
The brightness setting can be raised far beyond the default maximum, which helps in dark caves and nights.
Direct gamma edit
A gamma value can be written into options.txt and used in place of the brightness slider.

What the author says
Restores the ability to either change options.txt to Gamma=5.0 or just use the brightness slider in game (as this was removed in version 22w12a) Very similar to the planifolia mod but only does the gamma slider not everything else, and works with the latest (Vulkan) version of sodium
