❓ FAQ
Q: Does this work with shaders? A: Not really… It works going between 0%-100% but does not go higher.
Q: Is this allowed on servers? A: This is a client-side mod, that being said, it could potentially give unfair advantages – check your server's rules.
Q: Why not just use another fullbright mod? A: Most fullbright mods are simple on/off toggles. This gives you granular control with multiple stops, persistent settings, and a clean UI.
Q: Can I set custom brightness levels? A: Absolutely! Edit the config file or use the GUI to set any value from 0% to 10000%.
