Sodium Fullbright
by luaq
Sodium Fullbright raises the top of the brightness slider in Sodium from 100% to 1000%, so players can brighten dark areas without a key binding.
What it does
The mod changes the maximum value of the brightness option in the Sodium video settings. The option moves from 100% to 1000%, and the change is made in the same place players already adjust brightness, so no keybind has to be set up. The author notes that the mod does not change vanilla video settings and that a configurable maximum or a Sodium menu toggle may be added later.
Installation needs Fabric and Sodium, since the brightness option it extends belongs to Sodium. Only the client needs the mod, so players can install it on their own game and leave the server untouched. Files are published for Fabric alone, with 16 release versions 1.21.1 – 26.3, and the latest file is 1.2.0 for 26.3, released on 2026-03-26.

Key features
Higher brightness ceiling
The brightness slider in Sodium reaches 1000% instead of stopping at 100%, which brightens dark caves and nights.
No keybind needed
The brightness change lives in the Sodium video settings, so players adjust it with the slider rather than a key.
Single-purpose change
The mod alters only the maximum brightness value and adds no other options or items.

What the author says
This mod simply allows you to change the brightness option in Sodium from 100% to 1000%. I made this mod because I was looking for an option to change my brightness without having to bind a key. It makes the most sense for me to simply change it in the video settings.
