Flat Lighting 💡
Adds a new video setting to make lighting flatter. It does this by removing the shading differences between the sides and top of blocks, which gives the game's lighting a softer or flat appearance.
The effect is similar to the Old Lighting setting from Optifine's internal shaders.
Comparison 🎨
Usage 👤

How to Install Flat Lighting (Mod)
Flat Lighting by Aeltumn is verified for Fabric across Minecraft versions 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1 (latest release: 1.4.2, file size: 17 KB). Follow the steps below to install it safely from ModCraft.tv:
- Click the Download button above and select your Minecraft version (1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1) and platform (Fabric).
- Make sure you have the compatible loader or environment installed for Fabric.
- Move the downloaded Flat Lighting file into your Minecraft
.minecraft/modsfolder and launch the game.
- Updated to Minecraft 26.3.
- Updated to Minecraft 26.2
- Instead of automatically changing the lighting there is now a setting called 'Cardinal Lighting' in the video settings which you have to turn OFF to get the flat lighting effect. The setting defaults to being on. This is because it was fairly common previously for users to install the mod unintentionally and want to turn off the lighting changes. It also allows Flat Lighting to be included in modpacks without forcing users to use it (which is why it defaults to vanilla lighting).
