About GammaOfNightLights

From Thunderstore

Control luminance, moonlight and sunlight intensity, fog density and day/night length. Ambient light tweaks.

Gamma of Night Lights

Control luminance, moonlight and sunlight intensity, fog density and day/night length

Features

  • Control luminance at nighttime, daytime, morning and evening
  • Control fog density (ambient , make some changes to realize what's that exactly)
  • Control luminance and fog density at indoors (that mean instanced locations like crypts, caves and so on)
  • Control moonlight and sunlight intensity (less luminance and more moonlight makes night more realistic, moonlit swamp looks terrific)
  • Control night length in percents of all day length (like to make nights shorter but darker)
  • Control day length in seconds (entire day length in seconds, vanilla 1800 sec)
  • Sky is still visible but it does not provide a light (starry sky at dark nights is just gorgeous)
  • Configuration is server-synced

Night length control is not just brightness control but actual day and night routine. It doesn't interfere with overall day length but changing the proportions of day/night cycle. It DOES mean more dangerous creatures at set long nights.

If you like darker nights and want more configurable light sources you should check
