Frequently asked

Does Restored Brightness work on Minecraft 1.21.8?

Yes. 1.21.8 is the newest Minecraft version Restored Brightness declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Restored Brightness support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.17 up to 1.21.8. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Restored Brightness on the client or the server?

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

What licence is Restored Brightness under?

Unlicense, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Restored Brightness?

Download the file from the author's own release, put it in your resourcepacks folder, and enable it in Options, then Resource Packs. No loader is involved; check the pack targets your Minecraft version so textures do not fall back to defaults.

Where do I download Restored Brightness safely?

Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. The download link goes to the source recorded for that release; verify the publisher, filename and checksum before running it.

Works on the same versions

Ordered by how much of the recent Minecraft version coverage overlaps, not by popularity.

Last checked 2 mo ago against Modrinth. We do not host files and we do not republish descriptions; every download link points at the author’s own release.
