Moonrise
by Jeb_Kerm
Moonrise lets the moon travel across the sky as a separate body from the sun, so the two can be seen at the same time.
What it does
The mod changes the sky rendering so the moon moves on its own path, at a slower rate than the sun, and can pass through the sky at a different pace. During play, a solar eclipse shows up whenever the sun and moon line up in the sky, and the mod displays the effect. Moonrise is a client-side mod for Fabric, published for 1.20.4 only, and is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Independent moon path
The moon crosses the sky along its own route instead of sitting opposite the sun.
Slower moon movement
The moon moves through the sky at a rate different from the sun, so its position changes over the course of a day.
Solar eclipses
A solar eclipse appears on screen once the sun and moon cross paths overhead.

What the author says
This mod changes the rendering system for the Sun and Moon, allowing the Moon to move through the sky at a different, slower rate than the sun. But, of course, what happens when the sun and moon overlap in the sky? You get a solar eclipse!
