Cy4n's Lighting
Dark shadows, orange sunsets, and warm torchlight. NEEDS OPTIFINE. Free Minecraft Java resourcepack — download and open it in the game.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeSince its inception, Minecraft has always had bad graphics. But, thanks to Optifine, a small part of this may be remedied! Using advanced texturing technology and sky color measurements, a new resource pack has been created with the capability to completely transform the Minecraft experience. Cy4n's Lighting offers unparalleled accuracy to Minecraft’s environment, including never-before-used-in-a-resource-pack (that I could find) texture names enabling separate light maps for rain and sunset.
Requires OptiFine.
Note: With these light maps, Moody nights and the End are dark. For gameplay purposes +25% brightness is recommended.
A sunrise, with and without the light maps:


A rainy day:


At night:


See, I told you it was dark.
The Nether:


The End:


Hey, the sky is black and there's no sun, so don't blame me.
