✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 766 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads
- Does exactly what it says: tones down glow without removing it
- Lightweight texture swap, no performance hit
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so may not be compatible with newer game patches
- Only affects glow intensity, not other lighting aspects
- Potential conflicts with other lighting overhaul mods
For players who find the default fire, candle, and torch glow too bright or distracting. If you're a purist who wants a subtle tweak without overhauling the whole lighting system, this is for you. Skip if you want comprehensive lighting changes or use a major lighting mod that already adjusts these effects.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, place the files in the correct texture folder or use a mod manager to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- If you use a lighting overhaul mod, install this after it to ensure the reduced glow textures take priority.
- Test in a dark area with a torch to see the difference before committing.
