[1.18.2] Changing the sun and moon texture only in custom dimension

[Bhirb]

Hi all, I implemented a custom dimension and wanted to change the texture and possibly animate the sun and moon in this custom dimension(but just changing texture is fine for right now), but I'm running into some issues figuring out where to start. I have the dimension and dimension_type written as .json files which work great, and I've looked at a lot of other similar posts and files on this topic but they all used the outdated WorldProvider or SkyProvider classes which no longer exist, so I'd love for some help here. I think I need to use LevelRenderer, but I'm not sure where I could specify that I ONLY want the sun and moon textures changed in the custom dimension, and not anywhere else. I would love it if someone could point me in the right direction here.

See the forge ISkyRenderHandler class, look at the javadoc.

One place to do it is by subscribing to WorldEvent.Load and testing isClientSide() and ClientLevel.dimensionType() is your dimension.

You can see how vanilla does the rendering in LevelRenderer.renderSky()

 

In case it is not obvious, you need to cast the LevelAccessor to a ClientLevel after have tested you are client side.
