Adaptive Brightness
A simple mod that changes your brightness according to the light level
About this Mod
Adaptive Brightness
This mod dynamically changes the brightness level of Minecraft based on the light level of the block you're standing on.
For configuration editing, you'll need ModMenu
This mod is currently only available for Fabric, I won't personally make a Forge port. If anyone wants one, they're free to port it themselves.

Adaptive Brightness server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.17). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Adaptive Brightness compatible with fabric?
Adaptive Brightness officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Adaptive Brightness – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Adaptive Brightness consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
