Viewing All Eight Cubic Moon Phases and the Bonus Painting

Beyond reshaping the daytime sun into a glowing 3D cube, Cubic Sun and Moon retextures all eight vanilla lunar phases into chunky 3D variants and tucks a lightly retextured painting into the game.

Cycling Through the Cubic Moon Phases

In normal survival play, the moon advances by one phase every night, taking eight full in-game days to complete a cycle. Remember that lunar phases affect vanilla mechanics like slime spawning in swamps, and all eight phases remain distinct and readable on the 3D cube.

If you are in a world with commands enabled and want to preview every cubic phase right away:

1. Run /time set night or /time set midnight so the moon is clearly overhead.

2. Run /time add 24000 to advance the clock by exactly one full Minecraft day.

3. Repeat /time add 24000 seven more times to watch the cube step through all eight lunar phases while keeping natural moonlit sky lighting.

Finding the Bonus Retextured Painting

The pack includes a lightly retextured vanilla painting as an extra detail. To spot it in-game:

1. Craft or grab Paintings (eight sticks around one wool block) and build a large flat wall of solid blocks.

2. Place paintings across different wall sizes—or use the creative inventory to select individual painting variants if available—until you spot the subtly updated canvas artwork included with the pack.
