Sun


Info

Trivia

  • The sun is visibly larger during sunrise and sunset.
    • If the player is underwater or underground and looks at the sun, it appears the same as the sun at sunset.
      • This is due to the way the sun is rendered when in direct exposure to the sky.
  • Standing or flying at a height above the terrain of approximately 1.4x the render distance, the sun will appear opposite to the moon in the sky, making it seem almost as if the player is in space.

During these storms the ambient light value during the day will be reduced to 12 from the usual 15, and in thunderstorms the light level will be reduced to 10, though treated like it were 5, allowing hostile mobs to spawn.

When the sun rises and sets, blocks exposed to sunlight will change their light level depending on the angle of the sun, giving the effect of gradually getting lighter at dawn and gradually getting darker at dusk. Be that as it may, shadows of blocks are not affected by the position of the sun in the sky, making sundials impossible.
