FAQ

Is Fullbright Mod allowed on multiplayer servers?

It depends on the server's rules. Fullbright is a client-side visual change, but some servers consider it an unfair advantage. Always check the server's mod policy before using it online.

Does Fullbright Mod work with other Fabric mods?

Yes, since it's built on Fabric and uses standard APIs, it generally works alongside other Fabric mods. If you're on an older server version, the developer recommends pairing it with ViaFabric to connect using the latest client.

What's the difference between Fullbright Mod and vanilla brightness settings?

Vanilla Minecraft caps brightness at a certain level, and even the Night Vision potion effect leaves some areas slightly dim. Fullbright Mod pushes brightness beyond those limits, making every block equally and fully visible regardless of light level.
