Description
The Ecliptic Cycle
Back and Forth,
Southward, Northward.
In and Out of Shadow, in an eternal dance.
aʦu kɪɾ-͠ɛklɪɾa, χuɾ ɾuʦ?
In Luanti, The Moon is locked 180° from the Sun. No tilt or offset to catch the sun’s rays.
So The Moon is locked in an eternal, lunar eclipse.
However, if we merely shift The Moon from side to side (north to south), then we can move it out of the earth's umbra; thus producing a sort of ping-pong lunar phase system.
Features:
- Logical lunar phase system within the Luanti constraints.
- 17 Unique Lunar events.

Beautiful!
I love the atmosphere that this adds! Also the sense of time progressing beyond just the day/night cycle - so good! Highly recommended.
Visually Stunning
My only gripe is that it doesnt work in Mineclonia, which is what I usually play in.
I hope I see the support for Mineclonia soon.
