Stellar Sky
Stellar Sky is a mod which changes the Minecraft sky to be much more realistic.
It adds fancy real stars and planets, and so on.
You can even find constellations with this mod!
Note: Stellar Sky requires SciAPI to run.
Features
Real colored stars rise at night; They even twinkle! (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars!)
The Sun and Moon is much fancier, smaller than default, and they move diagonally like real world!
Milky way can be seen on the night sky! (after ver 0.1.22)
Length of a year and length of a day can be changed by config.
Can view the additional displays such as horizontal, equatorial, ecliptic grid. Also landscape is added on the recent version(v0.1.4.8) (Disabled by default, see Per Dimension settings)
Current time is shown on the HUD. It can be manipulated by pressing key ‘U’. (For more information, see Stellar API)
Client Settings is configurable via HUD! (v0.1.4.6+)
* Currently this mod does not affect performance much!
* On latest version of 1.7.10, this mod runs on 40FPS when vanilla runs on 45FPS
with default settings(mag limit 6.0) on default world.

Configuation(Outdated)
stellarsky.cfg
Category clientconfig:
– Mag_Limit : reducing Limit Magnitude can improve FPS exponentially
– Moon_Fragments_Number : Accuracy of moon, reducing this will improve FPS slightly.
– Twinkling(Turbulance) : Degree of the twinkling effect of star. Not related with FPS.
– Minute length: Minute length in tick. This is for HUD display in HH:MM format.
– Hour length: Hour length in minute. This is for HUD display in HH:MM format.
Category serverconfig:

– Day_Length : Now, You can change the Length of a Day! Imagine 1000 tick-day!
– Year_Length : You can also change the year length. its unit is ‘day’
– Moon_Size & Moon_Brightness: relative size/brightness for moon.
– Offsets(Start time), Start time will be YearOffset / DayOffset / TickOffset.
* Tick_Offset: Start tick.
* Day_Offset: Start day.
* Year_Offset: Start year.
– Coordinate
* Lattitude/Longitude_Overworld/Ender: Longitude and Lattitude on Overworld/Ender. It represents the coordinate of the viewer.
– Wake up properties!
* Wake_Mode: You can choose earliest or latest available wake times given by conditions.
* Wake-up Conditions
# Wake up by brightness(light): When sun reaches the height angle :Sun_Height_for_Wake, player wakes up. (enable/disable)
# Wake up by alarm: When time reaches certain time after midnight: Wake_Time_from_midnight, player wakes up. (enable/disable)
* Per-Dimension Configuration:
On the latest versions of Stellar Sky, per dimension configuration is available!
You can make any dimension accept Stellar Sky by adding the name of the dimension to the dimension list (Applied_Dimensions property) in the configuration of world settings!
Also there are a few more config options that allows you to change latitude, longitude, and so on.
- sunlight multiplier allows users to change sunlight effect to the sky.
Setting it to 0.0 eliminates every light from sky! Have fun with that.
- sky dispersion rate allows users to change sky brightness without affecting ground light level/brightness. In this way you can effectively imitate the space.
- light pollution rate affects the sky color and visibility of stars and milky way.
- minimum sky render brightess affects the minimum ground brightness outside, which enables users to play on total darkness, or bright night party with mobs.
- landscape enabled determines whether the landscape will be rendered for the world or not.
- sky render type determines render type ofthe sky. One can use end sky for overworld.
* Now there is per-dimension textures. (for sky) See the Per Dimension Resources on the Configuration.
(- Moved to Stellar API on recent versions of 1.7.10)
* Configuration Lock:
You can lock sky configuration via Lock button in Options or /locksky.
After that, you cannot change common config settings(e.g. length of day, year) forever, so BE CAREFUL!
On the latest version, it is migrated into the Client Settings Overlay. (See features above)
Dependencies and Companions
Currently, Stellar Sky v0.1.*, v0.1.2.*, v0.2.1/2.* and v0.3.1/2.* uses SciAPI, but v0.*.3.* and v0.*.4.* for MC 1.7.10 uses Stellar API as dependency.
For recent versions, recommend to install Photoptics with this mod.
It will allow you to use binoculars and telescope to inspect fancy but faint stars with more details.
(Please recommend good companions of Stellar Sky on the reply)
