|
|
The '''sun''' is a celestial body that provides [[light]] for the [[Overworld]].

[[File:Sunrise.png|thumb|right|Example of the sun rising on the horizon.]]
|
|
|
|
The sun and [[moon]] rise in the east and set in the west.
|
|
|
|
When the [[player]] creates a new [[world]], the time is set to dawn and the sun starts on the horizon. As time passes, it slowly moves across the sky. As the sun sets, the [[moon]] rises. Overall, [[daytime]] lasts 10 minutes (in real-time).

== Sunlight ==

|
|
|
|
Sunlight is the [[light]] cast from the sky that burns various [[undead mobs]] during daytime. Mobs can shelter from the sunlight by staying underneath any block that does not fully let light through, like [[glass]] does, therefore creating a shadow. Clouds themselves do not cast shadows; however, during inclement [[weather]], the sky darkens and reduces the amount of light in the world.
|
|
|
|
Strictly speaking, sunlight can be considered as the presence of both an [[internal sky light]] level of at least 12 and a [[sky light]] level of 15. Due to this, it is possible to burn undead mobs during [[rain]]y weather by covering them with glass.

|
== Trivia ==
|
|
*The sun is visibly larger during sunrise and sunset.
|
|
*If the player is underwater or underground and looks at the sun, it appears the same as the sun at sunset. This is due to the way the sun is rendered when exposed to the sky.

Sun visible at the bottom of the sea.png|Looking down (in this case from Y:203) at night time, it's possible to see the sun under the sea, because the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of each other and due to the distance, the bottom of the sea despawns, leaving a gap where it can be seen.
