About this project

What does Brightness Config add?

This mod allows pack developers to lock the in-game brightness onto a certain value.

The range of the config spans from 200% brightness = very bright, to 0-100% = the default range, all the way down to -200% = event horizon level dark. (default: 0 = Moody)

Maximum brightness is not higher because there are other mods for that, like Gammabright or Fullbright. Meanwhile some mods make the game effectively pitch black, like Hardcore Darkness. This mod focuses on the middle ground.

Locking the brightness at a value lower than 0, for example, turns the lack of visibility in caves and at night into a bigger challenge.
