This resource pack removes the legacy block shading that darkens the sides and bottoms of blocks. YouTubers such as Grian and Mumbo Jumbo often use mods like Simply No Shading that disable legacy block shading to brighten up the game, but with this resource pack, you don't need any mods at all, and it will work in snapshots, too!
Pairs well with No Shade by masenaut!
