Sun Shader Extension
This is a very simple one-mixin mod that allows Resource Pack creators to have a sun texture for every dimension they have the sun enabled in.
How do I use the mod?
To utilise this mods capabilities, name the files sun_NAMESPACE_DIMENSION.png. in the example below the NAMESPACE is bracken (see The Bracken Pack) and the DIMENSION is "pax"
with this mod enabled, with shaders enabled, you will render the correct sun in the correct dimension, if a sun icon is unavaible for a given dimension it will just default to the minecraft sun.
