Hide Sun/Moon
Hide Sun/Moon removes the sun and moon from the sky on the client while leaving the day-night cycle itself untouched.
What it does
Hide Sun/Moon is a lightweight Fabric mod that lets players hide the sun, the moon, or both. Only visual rendering changes, so the time of day, the darkness at night, the light that falls across blocks and the phases of the moon all keep running as before, even when the celestial bodies are not drawn.
Because the change happens on the client, only the player who installs it sees the difference, and it works in singleplayer and on multiplayer servers alike. Fabric API is required. Files target 26.2 only, the latest being 1.1.0, published on 2026-08-23, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
The option sits in the Video Settings screen, right below Weather Effect Radius and Anisotropic Filtering, as an ON/OFF switch. The default selection is OFF, which keeps the sun and moon visible, and the chosen value is kept between game restarts.
Key features
Hide the sun and moon
Either the sun or the moon can be hidden individually, or both can be removed from the sky together.
Video Settings toggle
An ON/OFF option is added to the Video Settings screen, placed under Weather Effect Radius.
Lighting is preserved
Sky lighting, shadows, moon phases and the day-night cycle keep running even when the celestial bodies are hidden.
Setting is remembered
The selected state is saved and restored after the game restarts, with OFF as the starting default.

Use cases
