I tried to find some good modern pictures of caves for comparison but dang old caves were scary weren't they?
Like whenever I play beta versions today I feel a little unnerved mining and straight to up freaked out when a cave sound plays!
Old lighting looked really cozy in the daytime and made all the houses so cute and cozy looking but it made caves really unnerving!
Also this is my chance to say that I miss old caves a lot

honestly i kinda miss the old lighting 😆 something about being young playing minecraft, going mining felt like a horror game
Alpha and Beta caves were winding and uncertain. At any moment you can be ambushed.
*insert old cave sounds*
Mite:breakeverything caving is terrifying early game
I’m currently playing an old version of Minecraft Legacy on PS Vita and honestly, it’s scary to go into a cave and see how little light the torch gives off if you have the brightness set to low, but I also love the aesthetic that Minecraft has in those versions; it feels like a completely separate game.
i have a psx visualpack that i put together to make the game look as old as possible, the newer giant caves with the old visual/lighting style can definitely be unnerving
I feel the older lighting in beta and alpha is a lot more realistic due to being more neutral in terms of light colour.
Though torches being visually warmer is also realistic. If somehow the lighting engine could be reworked to allow for different coloured lighting it would help create and allow different ambience for the game
Whole caves in the game have this own vibe (in my opinion), but yes, this light adds its own vibe more.
have you tried setting the brightness to Moody and enabling fog? it looks like the primary difference are darkness and view distance
everything about old Minecraft is kinda creepy because of how barren it is compared to new Minecraft. especially beta and the earliest console editions
Por isso gosto de jogar com brilho baixo. Lembro de umas versões antigas que eu fazia isso e simplesmente a noite era um breu brabo
