Semi-Realistic Moon (Vanilla Phases)
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.
Changes the Moon texture to look like a square version of the Moon in real life, while keeping a low-ish resolution to fit with vanilla.
This version matches the vanilla moon texture, but it is not physically correct. Minecraft's moon is rotatetd 90° from reality, and the phases are either reversed or go based on when it's setting.
The (better) version with the proper phases and moon rotation is available here. It looks very good with shaders that have a sun/moon angle.
