NightVisuals FullBright
by NightVisuals
With NightVisuals FullBright, dark caves, nights and the Nether and End stay visible without torches, since the mod makes blocks render at maximum light level.
What it does
NightVisuals FullBright removes darkness from the game by rendering every block at the maximum light level, so caves, nighttime surface areas and the Nether and End are visible without placing light sources. Players who explore dark caves or nighttime areas can see clearly without carrying torches or other light sources, freeing inventory slots for other items. A toggle in the NightVisuals in-game GUI menu switches FullBright on or off, with the default key opening that menu, and its additional settings can be left off.
The mod is Client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It requires Fabric API and NightVisuals GUI, and needs a game restart after the config files are edited. Files are published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.2, and the latest file, 1.0, is for 26.2. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Instant full brightness
Blocks render at maximum light level the moment the mod is active, with no waiting for the world to change.
Light in caves and at night
Caves, the Nether and the End remain visible at night without any light sources placed in the world.
Toggle through the GUI
FullBright is switched on or off from the NightVisuals in-game menu, using the default key or the menu button.
Lower torch use
Rather than crafting and placing lights, a player who wants full visibility in gloomy places can rely on the mod to render blocks at their brightest.
Rendering approach
The mod overrides the lightmap and framebuffer within the rendering passes, which the author reports has no FPS cost.
