To make the deep dark truly scary: Maximum light level.

Considering with how bright torches are, im afraid the deep dark biome wont feel too "dark".

Im afraid that with considering how easy it is to make torches, a person can safely go there, light the whole places up with a million torches, and get perfect vision and understanding of everything going on around them.

That defeats the whole purpose of the deep dark.

What should we do then? Well, the deep dark should have a maximum light level, meaning any light source placed in it will adjust to the appropriate light level for the deep dark.

The deep dark should have a maximum light level of 8. And a minimum of 0, so it can get reaaal dark and scary down there. Perhaps we could get an additional music track that adds suspense and spookiness.

A light level of 8 is good. Any torches placed down here would adjust their standard light level of 14 down to 8, just slightly brighter than a redstone torch.

This really adds onto the atmosphere of the deep dark, it would be a great addition and truly make the biome scary and dangerous!

    How about any light source adjusting it's light level down by 1-6 depending on what it is? This would leave torches at a light level of 9, and make redstone torches emit less light as well, allowing for REALLY spooky atmosphere. That said, in the Deep Dark mobs would cease to spawn in a lower light level, which would make torches less useless.

    Great idea! I want the deep dark to actually be a challenge, and to actually be scary. Imagine if the default light level in the deep dark was complete darkness, as in, you can't see anything and torches are essentially required to explore it.
