📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
After experimenting with various mods alongside SIL, I found most results to be unrealistic or nonsensical according to my taste. However, More Dynamic Lighting (MDL) caught my attention with its subtle tweaks to lighting. While I appreciated MDL's adjustments, I noticed that its color scheme differed significantly from SIL.
To remedy this, I utilized MDL as a foundation and integrated SIL's colors. Whenever conflicts arose between values, I prioritized SIL's settings.
Please note that this integration focuses solely on light adjustments and does not include any additional features from MDL, such as extra torch items.
