Celestial Order Fix Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does this mod actually change how eclipses look or just fix rendering?
It only fixes the rendering order so the moon appears in front of the sun instead of behind it. The actual appearance of eclipses depends on your data pack—this mod just removes the visual bug that prevented them from working correctly.
Will this mod work with my custom sky texture pack?
Yes, this mod is designed to work alongside sky packs and data packs without conflicts. It only adjusts rendering depth, not textures or colors, so your custom sky visuals will display normally.
How do I know if the mod is actually working?
Watch the sky during a full day-night cycle and look for the moon appearing visibly in front of the sun when they overlap. If you see the moon clearly layered over the sun instead of disappearing behind it, the mod is working.
Do I need this mod on the server or just the client?
This is a client-side mod only—install it on your client. The server doesn't need it, and it won't cause issues if other players don't have it installed.
Will this mod lag my potato PC?
No, this mod has virtually zero performance impact because it only changes rendering order, not lighting calculations or heavy effects. It's specifically designed to run smoothly on low-end computers.
Can I use this with data packs that change day-night cycles?
Yes, this mod works alongside data packs that customize celestial events and sky cycles. It simply ensures the moon renders in front of the sun regardless of how your data pack manipulates timing.
Does this mod change the vanilla sky appearance or colors?
No, it preserves the vanilla visual style completely. It only adjusts which celestial body appears on top, with no changes to lighting, colors, or atmospheric effects.
What if my eclipse data pack still looks buggy after installing this?
Make sure the mod is loaded by checking that the moon visibly appears in front of the sun during overlap. If it does and your eclipse still looks wrong, the issue is likely in your data pack's logic rather than the rendering order.
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
Yes, as a client-side mod it works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds. Other players don't need to install it to see your game working correctly.
Will this mod conflict with shader packs?
This mod is designed to work with shader packs and won't cause conflicts. It handles rendering order at a level that doesn't interfere with shader lighting or effects.
