Adjust Lighting Intensity for Your Build Style

Access Shader Settings

Press the shader settings key (default: Right Shift + R, or check your keybinds) while in-game to open the shader menu. Look for lighting or brightness adjustment sliders.

Fine-Tune Light Levels

The mod provides controls for overall illumination strength. If your builds feel too dark, increase the brightness slider. If shadows are too harsh and obscure details, reduce shadow intensity. These changes apply instantly—no restart needed.

Optimize for Your Playstyle

For creative building, boost brightness so you can see all block details clearly. For exploration and survival, keep default settings to maintain atmosphere while preserving visibility. Test different combinations in different biomes, as lighting behaves differently depending on terrain and sky conditions.

Save Your Preferences

Once satisfied, your settings persist across sessions. You can create multiple profiles if you switch between creative and survival modes frequently.
