Blinking Stars

by Migats21 · on Modrinth

The Blinking Stars mod changes the look of stars and gives you the ability to blink a star. Features can be toggled using ModMenu.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21.2–1.21.3Newest
Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1
Minecraft 1.20.2–1.20.4

⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.3 ⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Blinking Stars

Feeling like the vanilla stars look a bit boring? Why are they all completely static? Why don't they flicker? And why are they all the same brightness and color? That is what Blinking Stars does.

Usage

All of the stars vary in 5 different colors: red, yellow, green, pink and white. They also flicker slightly and they are a bit smaller then usual. On random occurances a falling star will drop. In the miscellanious keybinds you can bind a key to "blink" a star. Pressing this button while looking at a star will cause it to blink. You can use this on a server to guide players in a direction.

Using the /curse command you can apply a solar curse to your world. When a solar curse occures mobs will not burn at day. This curse is an experimental feature and does not do that much yet.
