Astrocraft Lite
I don't know my version or loader
Astrocraft Lite
Adds over 2500 real life stars and every constellation to the night sky. The mod tries to stay in touch with the vanilla style of stars, but with variation in hues; some stars are more reddish, others blue.
This is a lightweight version of Astrocraft, with most of its features removed for better compatibility and performance. It does not add planets, sky rotation, or anything other than stars. It is compatible with forge / neoforge and fabric, and hopefully will support the latest versions of Minecraft in the near future.
Before and After: The Crux
Before and After: Orion
Before and After: Big Dipper & Little Dipper
