Enhance Cave Exploration with Better Night Vision

Locate Night Vision Settings

In shader options, find the night vision or cave lighting adjustment. AuraBound Shaders includes controls specifically for how well you see in dark underground areas without relying on potions.

Adjust Warm Torch Glow

The mod features warm, atmospheric torch lighting. If torches feel too dim or too bright, look for torch brightness or color temperature sliders. Increasing warmth creates a cozy cave aesthetic while maintaining visibility.

Balance Ambient Cave Light

Adjust the ambient light level for caves separately from surface settings if your shader version allows. This lets you keep daytime lighting realistic while ensuring caves remain navigable without constant torches.

Use Torches Strategically

Place torches in key spots—around mining areas, near mob spawners, along pathways. With AuraBound's soft shadows and warm glow, fewer torches create better ambiance than vanilla while staying functional.

Test Without Night Vision Potions

Explore a cave system relying only on torch placement and shader lighting. This reveals whether your settings are comfortable for extended underground play.
