Adjust Shader Brightness for Night Vision

Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu while in-game by pressing the designated shader menu key (typically accessed through your graphics settings or a dedicated keybind). Look for brightness or exposure controls in the main shader panel.

Fine-Tune Nighttime Visibility

Locate the night brightness or shadow brightness slider. This shader brightens dark areas by default, but you can adjust how much ambient light appears in caves and at night. Increase the value if hostile mobs are still hard to spot in deep caves, or decrease it if the night feels too washed out and you want more contrast.

Test Your Changes

The shader's gentle approach means changes are subtle—small slider adjustments often make a noticeable difference. Return to the menu and refine until you find a balance between visibility and atmosphere that suits your playstyle.

Save Your Preferences

Once satisfied, confirm your settings are saved. Most shader packs auto-save, but check the menu for a save or apply button to ensure your brightness adjustments persist across sessions.
