Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the brightness boost?
Press H during gameplay to toggle the brightness adjustment on and off, or use the command /halfbright toggle. You can also enable it permanently with /halfbright enable.
What's the difference between this mod and just turning up gamma?
Luminous Depth Mod remaps the lightmap on your CPU to brighten dark areas while keeping light sources like torches distinct and visible, whereas high gamma washes out colors and makes everything look flat. This mod preserves natural lighting curves and prevents the yellow color distortions that come with gamma adjustments.
Can I adjust the brightness level while exploring?
Yes, press the Up Arrow key to increase the minimum brightness level or Down Arrow to decrease it during gameplay. You can also use /halfbright level to set a specific brightness value between 0.0 and 15.0 in 0.5 increments.
Does this mod work with Sodium?
Yes, the mod works directly alongside Sodium video options. You can also adjust the brightness value using the on-screen slider in the Sodium video settings menu for more precise control.
