See Lunar Shader's Circular Sun and Changing Effects

Two features set Lunar Shader apart: a circular sun and continuously changing visual effects. Both build on its sharper, more colorful treatment of the landscape. Here's how to actually notice them in game.

Spot the circular sun

1. Load a world with Lunar Shader active and Vibrant Visuals enabled.

2. Go outdoors during the day. Open ground or a hilltop works best.

3. Look toward the sun. It should appear as a round disc rather than the vanilla square.

4. To watch it move across the sky, stay outside through a full day.

To jump to a specific time, use a world with cheats enabled and the vanilla /time set command:

• /time set day for the morning sun.
• /time set noon for the sun overhead.

Watch the effects change

The pack's visuals keep shifting rather than staying static, so you'll see the most by observing over time:

• Stay in one spot as the day turns to evening. Watch how the colors and lighting across the terrain shift.
• Compare open areas such as plains or water with sheltered spots under trees.
• Take screenshots at different times of day and compare them side by side.

Nothing changing?

If the sun is still square or the world looks plain vanilla, check two things:

• Lunar Shader is at the top of your Active packs in Global Resources.
• Vibrant Visuals is selected in Video settings.

Then reload the world.
