Capture Pink Sunrise Screenshots Over Mountains

The pink-tinted sunrise is one of this shader's signature looks, and it shows best over mountainous terrain. Here is how to set up a clean shot.

Setting up the scene

1. Find a mountain or hilly biome with open views. Height gives you a wide horizon to catch the pink sky.

2. Climb to a peak or ledge and face the direction where the sun rises. In vanilla, the sun rises in the east.

3. Then let time run so you can watch the colors change.

4. With cheats, /weather clear removes rain that would hide the sky.

Taking the shot

1. Press F1 to hide the HUD and your hand.

2. Adjust your view so the sky and the terrain below share the frame. Pink light falling on the slopes looks especially good.

3. Press F2 to save a screenshot. Screenshots go to the screenshots folder in your game directory.

4. Take several shots as the sun climbs. The shader moves from sunrise pink into soft, warm morning light, so each minute looks a little different.

For a calmer, pastoral version, try a green field full of flowers in the morning. The shader pairs quiet warmth with dark clouds over those scenes.
