download Skip to Downloads

Cubic Sun & Moon Resource Pack (1.21.8, 1.20.1) reimagines the sun and moon in full 3D, transforming the way the sky looks and feels in your Minecraft world. Instead of the classic flat, pixelated orbs, this pack renders both celestial bodies as fully cubic objects that subtly rotate and cast more immersive shadows across the landscape. Whether you’re playing in survival or building a fantasy world, this small change adds an atmospheric touch that elevates your visual experience.

Compatible with both vanilla and modded environments, the resource pack supports enhanced sky mods and shader systems like OptiFine or Iris. It works seamlessly with 16x resolution packs and maintains performance even on mid-tier systems. You’ll notice that dawn and dusk take on a richer quality as the cubic sun rises and sets behind the terrain, with light reflecting in more visually dynamic ways. And by night, the cubic moon adds a sense of depth and mystery to the sky, especially in forested biomes or snowy regions where lighting plays a key role.

Whether you’re admiring a sunrise from a mountaintop, navigating by moonlight in the deep woods, or capturing cinematic screenshots, this pack gives your game a subtle but magical upgrade.
