Timing Screenshots and Build Showcases with Climax Shader's Day-Night Lighting

Climax Shader changes the colors of the sky and sun throughout the day, and some blocks gain colored light. Knowing when each look happens helps you capture your builds at their best.

Best Times of Day

• Sunrise (around 6:00 am in-game): the sky shifts color as the sun comes up.
• Noon (12:00 pm): the sun is directly overhead. This is the brightest time of day and there are no shadows. Use it when you want every detail of a build evenly lit.
• Sunset (6:00 pm): every block surface facing the sun gets a golden tint. Turn your build so its main side faces the setting sun for warm, dramatic shots.
• Nighttime (around 8:00 pm) and Midnight (12:00 am): the sky goes dark and glowing blocks and mobs stand out.

In a creative or cheats-enabled world, use the vanilla /time set command to jump straight to the time you want.

Show Off Glowing Blocks and Gear

1. Some blocks have colored lighting and some glow in the dark. Build with them and take your shots at night, when the effect is strongest.

2. A few blocks also have a 3D look. Get close and view them at an angle so the depth shows.

3. If you also play with the Beyond The Underground add-on, the Luminite armor set and the Lost Explorer's torch glow in the dark. Wear or carry them in night shots for extra light.
