Frequently asked questions
What does the Default HD Sun and Moon Resource Pack actually change?
It replaces only the sun and moon textures with higher-resolution versions, leaving everything else in the default look untouched. You won't see changes to clouds, stars, sky colors, or any blocks.
How do I know the pack is working after I enable it?
Look up at the daytime sun or the nighttime moon — the edges and surface detail should look noticeably sharper than vanilla. If they still look pixelated, the pack isn't active or is being overridden by another pack.
Does this pack change the sun and moon size or position in the sky?
No, it only swaps the textures. The size, position, and movement of the celestial bodies stay exactly as they are in vanilla Minecraft.
Why does the moon look the same as vanilla even though the pack is enabled?
Another resource pack loaded above it is likely overriding the moon texture. Move the HD Sun and Moon pack to the top of your active pack list so its textures take priority.
