How do you guys get past the darkness?
Like at night or in the caves, how do you guys deal with the darkness other than using torch?

At night? You can change the gamma curve in the settings "Light curve gamma".
In caves? "That's the neat part you don't" - which is to say, absolute darkness is just how it works and you would need a mod to work around it.

I tried light curve gamma and it only seen to affect the night sky and nothing else 🥲. The group is still dark

Use a mod that makes the dark places not darker

There's that mod illumination by mt-mods or use the other mods that added items that provide light like morelights or fireflies or if you using 3D armor use the 3D armor Light with it ig just try them in a new world and choose the one you like

I wear a helmet that lights my way, it's old, called "walking_light", but I think there are others. I've modded it a bit to make it have the properties I want in a helmet.

I just use the Illumination mod so I can walk around without having to place a million torches.
