DatapacksJava
Free The Moon
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.21–26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
This datapack adds independent rotation of the Moon, making more realistic lunar rotation and phases possible.
Installation
A resource pack is needed to fix the rotation of the vanilla Moon texture. Matcha Flavoured textures for the Moon and Sun are also included.
The datapack and resourcepack are bundled together — place the same file in both the datapack and resourcepack locations.
