True Fullbright
by Pixelbrew
True Fullbright is a client-side Fabric mod that lights up dark areas by overriding the gamma setting, with a toggle, a configurable gamma value and a night-vision option.
What it does
Turning the mod on raises the screen brightness so caves, nights and unlit buildings stay readable without torches. Pressing the toggle key switches the effect on or off, and the gamma level is set in the mod's options. Night vision can be selected as a separate gamma override mode, so the view changes without a potion.
The mod is configured through an in-game settings screen built with YetAnotherConfigLib, reachable from the Mod Menu list. Its controls are kept simple: an on-off switch, a gamma value that can be adjusted while playing, and a choice between the override modes. Only the client needs the mod, so it changes nothing about the server or other players.
Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required and must be installed beside True Fullbright. Files are published for Fabric only, across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3. The latest Fabric file is 2.0.3, published for 26.3 on 2026-10-02. The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Toggleable full brightness
A single key turns the brightness override on or off, so the normal view can be restored at any time.
Adjustable gamma value
The gamma level changes while the game is running, letting each player set how bright the scene should be.
Night vision override modes
Gamma override night vision modes give a brighter view without requiring an active potion effect.
In-game configuration
Options are set from a settings screen that opens through Mod Menu, with no need to edit files by hand.
