Round Sun & Moon Resource Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable the round sun and moon after installing the pack?
The round sun and moon should appear automatically once you activate the resource pack in your world's resource pack settings. If you don't see them, make sure the pack is positioned above any conflicting sky texture packs in your load order.
Why does my sun still look blocky or square?
Check that the resource pack is actually enabled in your current world—resource packs are world-specific in some versions. Also verify you're not using a conflicting texture pack that overrides sky textures; you may need to remove or reorder competing packs.
Can I use this with shader mods?
Yes, the round sun and moon work with most shader mods since they modify textures rather than rendering code. However, some shaders may override sky appearance, so test your specific shader combination to confirm they work together.
Does this pack affect performance or FPS?
No, this is a pure resource pack that only changes textures, so it has no impact on performance or frame rate.
How do I make the moon visible during the day?
The moon's daytime visibility depends on your game version and shader settings—by default, Minecraft hides it during day cycles. You can use the guide 'Make the Moon Visible During Daytime' to adjust this through resource pack customization or shader configuration.
Can I adjust how bright the sun or moon appears?
Yes, you can customize sun and moon brightness through resource pack settings or by editing the pack files directly. See the 'Customize Sun and Moon Brightness in Your World' guide for step-by-step instructions.
Will this work with other sky mods or packs?
It depends on what the other mod or pack modifies—if they also change sun and moon textures, they'll conflict. Check the 'Use Round Sun and Moon with Other Sky Mods' guide to learn how to layer them or resolve conflicts.
Does the round sun and moon work in the Nether or End?
No, the Nether and End have their own sky rendering that this pack doesn't affect—the round sun and moon only appear in the Overworld.
What do I do if the sun and moon disappeared after updating?
Re-enable the resource pack in your world settings, as updates sometimes reset pack activation. If they're still missing, refer to the 'Troubleshoot Missing or Blocky Sun and Moon' guide for more detailed solutions.
Does this pack change anything besides the sun and moon?
No, this pack only modifies the sun and moon textures—all other sky elements like clouds, stars, and sky colors remain unchanged from vanilla Minecraft.
