Restored Brightness fixes the buggy lightmap sampling in 1.17+ that causes the world to look darker than normal. This was reported as MC-225088 which was initially marked as "Works As Intended" until it was finally fixed in 1.21.9. This resource pack initially used custom-made edits but it now uses the official fix created by Mojang. This resource pack is not needed for versions 1.21.9 and later.
This mod is compatible with Sodium with either Sodium Core Shader Support for 1.20.4+ or Sodium Shader Support for 1.20.1 and below. You may get warnings when trying to use this mod with Sodium with core shader support which can be simply ignored. Using Sodium 0.5.11 can lead to visual errors and Sodium 0.5.13 needs to be paired with the 0.6 version of the resource pack.
