      Dear Minecraft Team!

      I am not sure if it's a bug or feature, but it is anyway a problem, especially to people like me. My eyesight is not as good as I wish it was. Back in the days Minecraft used to be one of the games that had proper contrast ratio, I will say a very balanced contrast. Nowadays it's contrast is too high to handle for me. And particularly this is because of the new light system introduced with the new caves - torches no more light up as much as they should, caves are too dark.

      Yeah, I understand that if I was in a real cave it would had been the same and this bug or feature is meant to make MC "more realistic", but c'mon, it's a block game from 2011, I have yet too much of realism while living in a country at war... Minecraft was always a game "to escape" the reality a bit. Well, one would say: "man, just turn up the gamma setting in "options.txt" or install FullBright/Night Vision mod or smth". I wish I could! 1.19 literally ignores the gamma adjustment.

      I hope it's just a bug and not some new "anti-cheating" algorithm (I really don't care about online and achievements, I always play local offline game in my own world). Cause if it actually a new way to make game even harder - for people with the same eyesight it's only a reason to ditch PE/Bedrock for old Java versions with ability to set gamma. I hope you will look into that issue so that game will be playable again, put back the gamma adjustment through "option.txt", or even add this as an accessibility option in settings.
