Brightness Plus Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on Brightness Plus for the first time?
Open your Controls menu in game settings, search for the Brightness Plus keybind, and assign it to any key you prefer. Press that key while in-game to toggle the brightness boost on or off.
Can I change the brightness level or is it fixed?
You can adjust the brightness anywhere from 0 to 1200 percent through the mod's settings menu. Higher values make your screen brighter; lower values dim it down.
Does Brightness Plus work with Optifine or Sodium?
Yes, Brightness Plus is compatible with popular graphics mods like Optifine, Sodium, and Vulkan. You can use them together without conflicts.
Will using max brightness hurt my FPS or cause lag?
Brightness Plus is a lightweight mod that adjusts your display settings without heavy processing. It should not noticeably impact your frame rate, though very high brightness levels on older computers may have minor effects.
Does the brightness setting save when I close the game?
Yes, your brightness level and keybind preferences are saved automatically. When you restart, your settings will be exactly as you left them.
Can I use Brightness Plus in multiplayer servers?
Brightness Plus is a client-side mod, so it only affects your own screen and does not give you an unfair advantage. Most servers allow it, but check your server rules to be sure.
What's the difference between using this mod and just turning up Gamma in video settings?
Brightness Plus lets you push brightness far beyond the normal game limit (up to 1200 percent) and gives you a quick toggle key. The standard Gamma slider has a lower maximum and requires menu navigation to change.
Does Brightness Plus work in the Nether or End?
Yes, the brightness boost applies everywhere in your world. You can explore dark areas in any dimension without placing torches.
Can I set different brightness levels for different situations?
The mod uses one brightness level at a time. You can toggle it on and off with your keybind, but you cannot save multiple presets for quick switching.
Why does my screen look washed out at very high brightness?
Extremely high brightness values (above 800-1000 percent) can make textures look faded or lose detail. Lower the brightness slightly to find a balance between visibility and visual quality.
