Brighter Twilights

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Have you ever been wandering around at sunset and wondered, "I'm looking at the sun, why is it so dark??". This datapack aims to fix this.

It changes the light levels to be brighter at sunset and sunrise by using a cubic interpolation instead of the linear interpolation vanilla uses. It also slightly moves back the time that full night sets in
