How to See the Daily Solar Eclipse Event

The main feature of this shader is a solar eclipse that happens every in-game day. It starts around 12 noon. When it begins, all natural light dims and your view gets darker.

Catch it naturally

1. Load a world with the shader active.

2. If it is night, sleep in a bed to skip to dawn.

3. Go outside, preferably somewhere open such as a savannah, plains or a shoreline, so you can see the sky and the landscape.

4. Keep playing until the sun is overhead. As noon arrives, the light fades and the scene darkens.

5. Watch how the fog and sun effects change the look of the terrain and water. Water turns noticeably dark during the event.

Jump straight to noon

1. Open chat.

2. Type /time set noon and press enter.

3. Look around. The eclipse lighting should take effect right away or very shortly after.

This is also a handy way to compare the same view before and after the event:

1. Stand still and set the time to morning with /time set day.

2. Note how bright the scene is.

3. Set the time to noon and compare.

The eclipse repeats every day. You will see it again each in-game noon for as long as the pack is active.
