it would be interesting to see if the sun and moon could be on diferent layers and at difernt rotation speads
so that it could do things like solar eclipse
seeing that it aredy has moon phases
this could also mean having the sun and moon druring the day in difernt parts of the sky
not shure how this would effect mob sporning
but could have a event on a eclipse
While I support this idea, simply making the sun and moon move at different speeds wouldn't work. The way I understand the Overworld's sky rendering is that first, it generates the sky colors, then adds sprites like the sun and moon, which are literally just pictures of the sun and the moon that are rendered in the sky. They are all combined using additive blending (Google it or imagine projectors), so if the sun were to overlap the moon, it would just get brighter. The only solution I can think of would be to place an opaque, sky-colored square (the shape can be changed with a texture pack) behind the moon. This would block out the sun if the two overlap.
