Luma Fullbright
by N0thyTV
Luma Fullbright is a lightweight Fabric client mod that brightens dark caves and unlit areas with a toggle bound to F7.
What it does
Luma Fullbright changes only the local lightmap on the client, so dark spaces look lit to the player while the world itself stays unchanged on the server. Pressing F7 turns the effect off, and a short on-screen message confirms the change and restores normal lighting right away. The mod starts disabled each time Minecraft launches, and the keybind can be reconfigured. Luma only reveals blocks through opaque terrain, so it does not light up solid areas behind stone or other full blocks.
The mod needs Fabric API as its dependency and requires Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer. It is client-side only, so it must be installed only on the client and not on the multiplayer server. Some multiplayer servers restrict FullBright and other visual client mods, so server rules should be checked before using it. Luma is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Java Edition 26.2 and 26.3, including snapshot builds, with 1.0.4 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Instant brightness toggle
A single key press switches the brightened view on or off without restarting the game or opening a menu.
Configurable keybind
The default key is F7, and the toggle key can be changed in the controls settings.
Clear state messages
Each change shows a short on-screen message that says whether the effect is enabled or disabled.
Disabled at launch
The effect starts disabled every time Minecraft opens, so normal lighting is the default.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to see dark areas more clearly on their own client, in single player or on servers that allow visual client mods.
