Being able to disable the new extremely cheap method of seeing in pitch darkness (the brightness slider) would be amazing. I now have people raiding caves in no time at all where as the first entire year of my server we had to spend a good 100-200 torches to make such an endeavor. My veterans are feeling pretty cheated right about now basically. This new brightness slider also makes it impossible to tell if the player is using the brightness slider, or a hack like the xray mod which lets you see as if there were broad daylight all around you. For all of us looking to end exploitation and also to preserve the difficulty of finding gold, diamonds and other valuables, we humbly ask the Spout team to work in this option of blacking out the slider from clients via the server mod (much like how we can control whether or not water is clear, and the stars are visible, etc.)
