Hi I just downloaded Optifine and when I started Minecraft, everything was extremly bright. I checked all the settings but couldn't find anything. Even if I am in a closed room with no torches its totally bright! I hope somebody can help me!!!
Follow this carefully. Make sure you have no resource packs that may cause Fullbright to be active. Disable them.
If this does not work, open your .minecraft folder by going into windows search, typing in "Run" and click on the application. Type %appdata% in the text box and click OK. Look carefully and you will see your .minecraft folder.
Next, scroll down until you see a text document labelled "options.txt". Open the document.
Next, inside of the options.txt document, look for a number next to the word "gamma:".
Finally, change the value from whatever you may have it at to 1. Do this by simply deleting the number and writing 1 there instead. (Please note: Do not put spaces in between the text that says 'gamma:' and the value).
In the top left of the document, click File, then click Save. You can now close the text document. Make sure you close the Minecraft game and launcher, then re-open them and your brightness should be back to normal.
If it does not work, make sure you are not using any mods/resource packs or clients that would mess with your brightness.
You mentioned that you just started using OptiFine? OptiFine has a built-in feature that makes the world a little bit brighter. If you go into settings you can somewhat control the brightness level with a slider through video settings. The only other thing I can think of is making sure you're using the most recent version of OptiFine, and make sure you're downloading the recommended version rather than the mirror version.

If it still doesn't work and you would like your world to be not so bright, you may need to settle for just not using OptiFine at all, I am unaware of any other way of changing the Gamma with optifine.

Optifine makes no changes to how brightness/gamma works - at least, not since it was added to vanilla in Beta 1.8 (IDK if Mojang's implementation was originally the same but based on decompiled source code for vanilla 1.6.4 and Optifine 1.6.4 it makes no changes to it, much as since 1.7 it probably makes no changes to how render distance or mipmaps work (a lot of vanilla settings were originally added by Optifine).
Of course, it could be a bug in Optifine, especially if it is a preview version - there are reports on the Optifine GitHub and elsewhere that brightness doesn't work in the 1.15.2 preview versions:

Remove any other mods/resourcepacks you are using, does it still happen then?

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.

Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
Thanks for you answer!
Tanks for you answer!
