Overview
This resource pack swaps out the pixelated low-res sun and moon with cleaner, high-definition versions. It stays true to the game's original look by scaling up the vanilla textures instead of replacing them with realistic photos or different shapes.
Features
- High-resolution Sun texture with smoother edges while keeping the classic square shape.
- Detailed Moon phases that look crisp even at high FOV settings.
- Faithfully upscaled pixels to prevent the "blurry" look of the default celestial bodies.
- Clean celestial gradients that blend better with the vanilla skybox.
Resolution & Performance
The textures are rendered at 256x, which is a significant jump from the default resolution. Despite the increase in detail, there is zero measurable impact on FPS, making it safe for low-end PCs and laptops.
Compatibility
This is a standard texture pack that does not require Optifine or Iris to work, though it is fully compatible with them. It works on basically any version of Minecraft from 1.8 up to the most recent release. If you get a "made for an older version" warning, you can usually ignore it as the file structure for the sun and moon rarely changes.
