Problem starts with #29

PS. I'm not saying it's a bad idea. In fact I believe they occur already, the problem is (#29) that you can't really see them because of the way the objects (moon, stars, sun) are drawn on the sky. They're not solid objects.

Yea I'm aware of this bug, I can barely see the moon in game actually, if there was a work around that would be cool. Eclipses would be cool though

It's not a bug. It's just the way things have to be drawn. A bug infers that there is a mistake.

What do you mean you can barely see the moon in-game? I fixed it in the most recent version. What version do you have?

PitchBright avatar Feb 14 '16 19:02 PitchBright

The latest 1.7.10 version

endguy14 avatar Feb 14 '16 19:02 endguy14

there's 20 releases for 1.7.10 which build do you have?

PitchBright avatar Feb 14 '16 19:02 PitchBright

The most recent update for 1.7.10 v 0.1.20

What size do you have your moon set to?

Also, do you mean during the day, or night, you can barely see it?

PitchBright avatar Feb 14 '16 19:02 PitchBright

I have the default configs and all I can see at night is a small speck that doesn't blink so I assume that's the moon. It's big enough to stand out among the stars. But still doesn't look very obvious

The angular size of the Moon is actually very small IRL. But the Moon has phases, so you should know what is Moon there. Also Moon is much brighter than any other stars.

@endguy14 That's probably a planet. The moon looks like this: http://i1018.photobucket.com/albums/af310/abab9579/3_zpsinijwehi.jpg?t=1455350409

I have a question regarding lunar eclipses. In the event you can somehow get them to work, would it be possible to add an option, turned off by default, for mob spawns to increase during a lunar eclipse/blood moon? I'm only asking due to the general incompatibility of mods that add their own blood moon events with this mod.

Not sure if Mob spawn increase would be a good idea - This is due to the stress it would put on servers with the mod added
