Customize Day and Night Lighting

Access Lighting Controls

Open the shader configuration menu by pressing O in-game. Navigate to sections labeled "ambient lighting," "color correction," or "atmosphere."

Adjust Daytime Brightness

Look for sliders controlling daytime ambient light. Increase brightness to make daylit areas feel more vibrant, or decrease it for moodier, more shadowed environments. This affects how brightly lit your surroundings appear even in direct sunlight.

Modify Nighttime Atmosphere

Find nighttime-specific sliders to control how dark nights become and how much ambient light persists. You can make nights darker and more atmospheric, or brighter for easier navigation.

Fine-Tune Color Temperature

Some versions include color sliders for warm or cool tones. Warmer settings give sunlight an orange tint; cooler settings create a bluer, more neutral appearance.

Test at Different Times

Observe how your adjustments affect the overall mood and visibility.

Balance Aesthetics and Visibility

Remember that extreme darkness can make gameplay difficult. Aim for atmospheric lighting that still allows you to see blocks and mobs clearly.
