Sun & Moon Reimagined Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable the resource pack after downloading it?
Open your Resource Packs folder in Minecraft settings, place the pack file there, then select it from the available packs list and move it to the active side. Restart your game to see the new sun and moon.
Why does my sun or moon look the same as vanilla?
Make sure the resource pack is actually active in your Resource Packs menu (it should appear in the right column, not the left). If it's active but still looks vanilla, try moving it higher in the pack order so it overrides other packs.
Can I use this with other sky or weather mods?
This resource pack works with most mods, but conflicts can happen if other mods also replace sun and moon textures. If you see overlapping or broken visuals, try adjusting the order of your resource packs or disabling conflicting mods.
Do the moon phases actually match the real lunar cycle?
The moon phases cycle through different visual states as time passes in-game, creating a realistic progression from full moon to crescent and back. This helps you track time and adds immersion, though the cycle length may differ from real-world lunar months.
Will this resource pack slow down my game?
No, this pack is designed to be lightweight and shouldn't impact performance since it only replaces textures in the sky. You should see no FPS drops on any modern computer.
How do I customize which moon phases I see?
Open the resource pack's configuration files (usually in the pack folder) and look for moon phase settings, where you can enable or disable specific phases to match your preference.
Does this work in the Nether or End?
The Nether and End have their own sky visuals, so this pack primarily affects the Overworld sky. The sun and moon won't appear in those dimensions since they have different lighting systems.
Can I use this on multiplayer servers?
Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can use this on any server without needing server permission. Other players won't see your custom sun and moon unless they also install the pack.
Why does my moon look dim or hard to see at night?
Check your brightness settings in-game—if it's set too low, the detailed moon textures may be hard to see. You can also try moving the resource pack higher in your pack order to ensure it's not being overridden.
Does this pack work with shader mods?
Yes, this resource pack works alongside shader mods, though the final appearance depends on how your shader processes sky textures. If the sun or moon looks wrong with shaders enabled, try adjusting shader settings or pack order.
