Improve Nighttime Visibility Without Cheating

Understand Night Lighting

PS FPS Shaders improves nighttime visibility through shader-level adjustments rather than changing game mechanics. The mod enhances how light propagates and renders during night cycles, making caves and dark areas more navigable while maintaining the vanilla aesthetic.

Adjust Brightness Settings

Open the shader menu (default: K) and look for brightness or exposure controls. Increase these values slightly to brighten the night without making it unrealistic. The shader will apply these changes globally to all dark areas.

Use Natural Light Sources

Place torches, lanterns, or other light blocks strategically. PS FPS Shaders renders these light sources more clearly and smoothly than vanilla, so they illuminate surroundings more effectively. This combines with the shader's improved nighttime rendering for better visibility.

Combine with Gamma Adjustment

If your monitor has brightness settings, a slight increase there also helps. The shader's clean lighting makes subtle brightness changes more noticeable than in vanilla, so you won't need extreme adjustments to see improvement.
