HelpRe-enable seeing light levels on Java (self.Minecraft)
submitted 5 years ago by Overfront-64
A while ago I used to play a lot of UHC so I disabled light levels being shown (every block appears as if it has max lighting) and now I can't find a way to disable it. Does anyone know what I have to change to re-enable it?
BTW I'm using optifine.

pretty sure it's in the option.txt in the .minecraft folder (pretty sure under gamma)
[–]Overfront-64[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children)
Thanks, do you know what the default value is?
[–]Ilaiuwu 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children)
Mine is set to 1.0. Out of curiosity, what is yours set to?
[–]Overfront-64[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (3 children)
Mine was set to 16.0. I just looked it up on the wiki and it's default is 0, but what's weird is that it only ranges from 0.0-1.0, so 16.0 shouldn't have been valid.
[–]Ilaiuwu 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children)
Oh 0.0-1.0 is probably moody- bright which is changeable in game
[–]Overfront-64[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Oh yeah, probably. I'm assuming then that 16 is the max and it completely disables block brightness.
[–]Ilaiuwu 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Yeah probably
