Simple Fullbright
by Glitch_
Simple Fullbright is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that extends Minecraft's gamma limits so caves and other dark areas can be seen at night.
What it does
Players can raise gamma well beyond the vanilla maximum, so caves and nighttime areas look fully lit without shaders or external tools. Gamma is adjusted with a set of controls, and an optional night vision toggle can be switched on as well. Settings persist, and a message can confirm each change.
The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, with its source code and issue tracker public. It is published for 26.1 only, with the latest Fabric file dated 2026-03-28. Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Fabric Loader must be present. Only the client needs the mod, so servers can run without it.
Key features
Gamma above vanilla limits
Gamma can be set far above the default maximum, with a configurable minimum and maximum allowed value.
Optional night vision
A toggle adds night vision on top of raised gamma, and it works with at least some shaders.
Smooth transitions
A transition option softens the change when gamma is toggled on or off, and it is off by default.
Status effect display
Client-side status effects can be shown, and the mod can warn when gamma is outside normal values.

Use cases
Exploring caves
Players moving through deep caves at night can keep terrain readable without placing torches everywhere.
Low-light builds
Builders working in dim interiors or after dark can check colors and shapes at a brighter level.
Who it’s for: Players who want brighter dark areas on a Fabric client without installing shaders. Servers need nothing from this mod, since it is client-side only.
