 The Kappa Shader is the high-end shaderpack in the lineup and tries to deliver the most appealing results without resorting to complex techniques like voxelisation. It is generally considered a realistic shaderpack, although it takes its own shortcuts and liberties due to which it is by no means accurate in the sense of exactly recreating real life lighting configurations.

		+
		+	A: The bright lights in the night are a feature of Kappa, RRe36 chose to make the lighting quite dynamic.</br>
		+	However, if you want to tone down the effect, try:
		+	* Lighting > Colors > Blocklight strength – reduce to 0.75
		+	* Lighting > Colors > Blocklight temperature - reduce to 3000 to make the light a bit more yellow and not so cold white
		+	* Camera > Bloom > Strength – reduce to 0.5
		+	* Camera > Exposure > Bright Limit - increase to 1.5
		+
		+	Some experimentation may be required to adjust to your liking.
