Better Brightness Slider

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 Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2Newest
Minecraft 1.19–1.19.4
Minecraft 1.18.2
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2 ⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.4 ⬇ Download for 1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

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.

Better Brightness Slider expands the default brightness slider, making it range from -100% to 1200% (fullbright) instead of 0% to 100%. It's a clientside mod, so it isn't required on servers. The feature is ported from Boosted Brightness, if you want a fabric version, download it there.

The mod should be compatible with Optifine and Rubidium (Forge Sodium).
