Description
Flat Lighting 💡
Adds a new video setting to make lighting flatter. It does this by removing the shading differences between the sides and top of blocks, which gives the game's lighting a softer or flat appearance.
The effect is similar to the Old Lighting setting from Optifine's internal shaders.
Comparison 🎨

Usage 👤
After installing the mod, navigate to the game's video settings and set Cardinal Lighting to off to make the lighting flatter. Keeping the setting on will keep lighting identical to the vanilla game.
