Delight-map is a resourcepack that tweaks Minecraft's lighting to be slightly darker and a bit more realistic. The name is a play on the word "lightmap"
This pack was designed for 25-35% brightness, so it is recommended to change your brightness setting to about 30%.



Mod compatibility

This pack will work in vanilla or with sodium, with no additional mods required!
It likely won't work with optifine or iris (with shaders enabled)



What exactly does it do?

The best way to see what this pack does is to look at the image gallery

- Block light (from things like torches) is now warmer and spreads slightly less
- Sky light is cooler (more blue) and spreads much less than it does in vanilla. This means shaded areas look darker as if they were actually in shadow
- The overall brightness has been decreased (dont worry you can still crank the brightness to 100% if you really like seeing in caves)
- Block lighting in the end is cooler and spreads less than in vanilla to fit in with the desolate vibe of the dimension. Block light flickering also does not apply when in The End
- In 1.21.9, the colour of end flashes has been adjusted to look closer to the actual flash that appears in the sky. They are also a bit less intense than vanilla and dont cause block lighting to become excessively bright

causes an error when loading it in 26.1 or above, looks like it works fine after changing 0 to 0.0 in lightmap.fsh line 18 and lightmap_uniforms.glsl line 14 and moving #version 150 to the first line

the #version thing was a thing i ran across later while testing on my main instance, i wouldn't have discovered it was the thing causing the pack unloads if i wasn't using SUMR

mobs are broken and just light doesn't affect them

do you have any other resources packs or mods? if so try with just delight in vanilla and see if it still happens
if it still happens let me know what version you’re on

It's really impressive the balance you strike with every choice in the pack. The end overhaul looks great! For inspiration for the nether, I recommend peeking at Askew. I think it did a pretty good job with the redness and still the impact of lava's light in there; even the soul sand valley doesn't look too awkward with its different colours there in my opinion.

Should probably make darkness have blueish tone like it was in the night gloom

It already is quite blue compared to vanilla, I don’t really wanna go much further since minecraft lighting is multiplicative it makes some thing look a bit odd (look at something blue like cornflowers at night with the pack on you’ll see what i mean)
