No issues should arise, so no worries.

No issues should arise, so no worries.

i mean does the moon change or anything?

The moon will revert to the vanilla pumpkin/frost textures. I might add variations for these too in the future.

i'd like that
maybe make them more realistic too, like the pumpkin moon's just rather orange and the frost moon being kinda blue-white

You should add stuff with the progression of the game, like as in the closer you get to the endgame since its all about space

What about make the day too? =D

 

[Trivaxy]

What about make the day too? =D

Yeah, making the mods "Better Skies" would be pretty cool! My only issue with this mod is how big the moon is compared to the sun.

 

[Trivaxy]

Following up with a suggestion I've received on discord, would you rather have the moon show the dark side or the known side? I've added a poll to the thread.

When initializing every mods, I sometimes crash on yours.

I like it very much though !
