About
Planetarium simply renders the solar system planets in Minecraft's skybox during the night. In a way, the MC skybox is a planetarium if you think about it. The planet textures are made by @Crackers0106 (PR #1) and @lxly9 (PR #2).

FAQs
Q: Can I use Planetarium with Shaders? A: Planetarium has been tested with Complementary Shaders and it works as long as you set the Sun/Moon Style to Reimagined.
Q: (1.21+ only) Can I configure what planets are visible and/or their sizes? A: Yes, by making a datapack containing planet JSONs and textures.
Planet JSONs go in src/main/resources/assets/your_mod/planetarium/planets Planet textures go in src/main/resources/assets/your_mod/textures/planetarium/planets Optionally, texture overrides can be done as shown here. An example planet pack can be found here.
Q: Can I port Planetarium to another MC version? A: Yes, as long as those ports are not for (neo)Forge.
Q: Can I port Planetarium to another modloader? A: No, you cannot port Planetarium to a modloader that isn't Quilt or Fabric such as (neo)Forge, or another non-Quilt/Fabric modloader.
