Moon Phase Info
by xparadoxical
Moon Phase Info shows the current moon phase on the in-game screen, with a small image of the moon and its size.
What it does
A HUD overlay reports the moon phase currently in effect, drawn as a small image of the moon. Next to it, the display gives the moon's size and an up or down arrow showing whether that size is growing or shrinking, along with the time left until the next phase begins. The information appears at the top of the screen while playing.
The mod runs only on the client, so the server does not need it and players on a server can install it alone. It targets Fabric alone, with files for 1.15, 1.15.1 and 1.15.2, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.15.2, first published and last updated on 2020-11-23. The code is released under The Unlicense, so it is open source and carries no restrictions on use.
The author notes that slimeballs are useful for a player who wants to reach a swamp biome, which is a gameplay detail rather than something the mod itself changes.
Key features
Current moon phase
A small image shows which phase the moon is in at the moment, updated as the in-game night cycle moves on.
Moon size readout
The display shows the moon's size for the current phase, so the change from one night to the next can be read directly.
Growing or shrinking arrow
An up or down arrow beside the size value shows whether the moon is getting larger or smaller.
Time until next phase
The overlay states how much time remains before the next moon phase starts.
