Prism's Light
by shubham96__
Players who explore dark caves can press P in Prism's Light to brighten the underground area at once, with no need to place torches.
What it does
Prism's Light lets a player switch on lighting in caves with a single key press. The toggle can be turned on or off at any moment, so the brightness can follow the player while mining or exploring. The key itself is changed in the Minecraft Controls settings. The mod requires Prism Mod Menu, which must be installed next to it on Fabric.
Ores, tunnels and hidden paths stay easier to see underground once the light is on, which suits diamond hunting, cave exploration and underground bases. Because the mod is described as lightweight, it is meant to add little load on top of the game. It is a client-side only mod, so only the player needs it and servers run without it.

Better mining visibility

How it compares
Just View (NightVision/FullBrightness) is also a Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License and not open source, and it brightens the whole view rather than caves specifically. EnhancedParticles targets particle effects for 1.21.11 and is released under All rights reserved, so it does not add lighting at all. Prism's Light covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
