Optimized Fullbright
by tricube
Optimized Fullbright turns off the lighting system on the client, so the whole world renders at full brightness with a single key press.
What it does
The mod disables the lighting calculation while it is active, which can raise frame rates in scenes with many block and light updates, such as large farms that use pistons. Pressing G toggles the effect, and the key can be changed in the controls settings. The F3 screen then reports light level 15 for every block, which shows the mod is working. The change is purely visual and does not alter other game mechanics. Installation needs Craft Config Lib on every loader and Fabric API on Fabric. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.20 – 26.3.
Key features
Lighting disabled on demand
The lighting system is switched off while the effect is on, so the client skips per-block light work.
Toggle with a keybind
The default key is G, and the binding can be changed in the controls menu like any other key.
Visual change only
Only brightness is affected. Redstone, physics and other game mechanics behave as in vanilla.

What the author says
Because of this, F3 will display every block’s light level as 15, indicating that the mod is working. Of course, in normal gameplay the performance gap will be smaller. However, it can provide noticeable improvements in areas with huge amount of block/light updates, e.g. large scale farms that use pistons.
