This is a remaster of the original Boosted Brightness mod by adamviola. Vanilla Minecraft caps brightness at 100%. This mod extends the slider to -100% (pitch black) at the bottom and 1200% (fullbright) at the top, with 5% steps for fine adjustment.
Brightness Presets
Save up to 5 brightness values and switch between them with keybinds. Presets are stored in boostedbrightness.json and persist across sessions.
- Next Brightness (
B): cycles to the next saved preset - Raise/Lower (
]/[): adjusts by 10% steps - Preset 1–5: jump directly to a specific preset — pressing the same preset key again toggles back to the previously active one
A small HUD overlay shows the current preset number and percentage after each change.
ModMenu Integration
If you have ModMenu installed, all presets are listed in a dedicated settings screen. You can add or remove presets (2–5) and adjust each with a slider without touching the JSON file.
