Sun & Moon size

by JTE » Post

Hum. So, I've noticed that Minecraft sun and moon images actually have a big translucent halo around them. But if you try to do the same in Minetest, as part of a texture pack or something (utilizing the often neglected sun.png and moon.png engine images), they end up just looking extra tiny in the sky, as the actual area of the displayed sun and moon include all of that transparent space.

Is there any obscure setting I should be using to change the sun and moon sizes in the skybox? Or is this a missing functionality the Minetest engine currently doesn't support? (Relatedly, can textured skyboxes even have an independant sun or moon that isn't part of the texturing..?)

Nope, there are no obscure settings. The entire sun/moon settings are just lacking in the engine. This needs major new engine code to be anywhere usable beyond what you can currently do.
