Locate Lighting Adjustments

Open shader settings and find the lighting or brightness section. This mod includes options for night lighting and sky brightness.

Adjust Night Brightness

The night lighting slider controls how visible the world is during darkness:

  • Lower values preserve the dark atmosphere but require torches and lanterns for navigation
  • Higher values brighten the night sky and ambient light, making caves and dark areas easier to see

Find a balance where you can navigate without feeling lost, but the night still feels distinct from day.

Enhance Sky Brightness

Separately, adjust the sky brightness setting to improve visibility of the moon and stars. A brighter sky helps you orient yourself outdoors at night without making caves artificially bright.

Test Different Times

Visit caves, forests, and open areas to confirm visibility is comfortable. The goal is maintaining atmosphere while ensuring you can see where you're going.
