📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,173 endorsements—players trust it.
- Over 53k downloads shows it's widely used and tested.
- Actively updated (December 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons

- Check the mod's forum or comments for player-recommended settings if the description lacks specifics.
- If you use other lighting mods, test compatibility—they might conflict with darkness adjustments.
