Enhance Nighttime Visibility Without Losing Atmosphere

Understanding NeoLux Night Rendering

NeoLux Shaders darkens nights significantly to create mood and contrast with daytime warmth. If you find yourself unable to navigate, adjust these settings rather than using full brightness.

Recommended Adjustments

Increase Ambient Occlusion or Indirect Lighting: This brightens shadowed areas without washing out the night sky. Shaded ground and cave entrances become readable while maintaining atmosphere.

Reduce Shadow Darkness: Lowering shadow intensity makes moonlit areas more visible. Shadows remain soft and cinematic but no longer obscure terrain details.

Enable Night Vision Potion: Drink a Night Vision potion for temporary enhanced visibility. This respects the shader's aesthetic and is the intended way to see clearly at night.

Practical Tips

Place torches and lanterns strategically—NeoLux's bloom effect makes light sources glow beautifully and serve as navigation beacons. Use the shader's own lighting design rather than fighting it. Caves and dark forests remain atmospheric while remaining playable with proper torch placement.
