Enhance Nighttime Visibility and Starfield
Configure Night Lighting
Open the Iris shader menu and find Solar Shaders' night-time and moon settings. The mod enhances moonlight and starry skies while keeping dark areas navigable.
Adjust Moonlight and Ambient Night Brightness
Tune these elements to your preference:
- Moonlight intensity: Control how brightly the moon illuminates the landscape
- Starfield detail: Enhance or reduce the visibility and density of stars
- Night ambient light: Adjust baseline brightness during night cycles to prevent complete darkness
Observe Changes
Visit different biomes—forests, mountains, and open plains—to see how moonlight and stars interact with terrain. Solar Shaders creates atmospheric night scenes with visible constellations and moon phases. If nights feel too bright and lose their mood, reduce ambient lighting. If you can't see enough to navigate safely, increase moonlight or ambient values slightly.
