[1.12] Changing the size of stars

[Legobmw99]

I recently went back and played some Beta 1.7.3, and was struck by how much larger the stars were. See this? The issue is, I don't have the first idea how to change this. I can't even find the exact location in the vanilla code that determines the size of stars.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't know much about rendering, but it looks like RenderGlobal#renderStars is used to render the stars into a VBO/display list at startup and when the renderers are reloaded (e.g. when resources are reloaded or a new save is loaded). The VBO/display list is then rendered in RenderGlobal#renderSky(float, int).

You seem to be right, yet I can't find anything which seems to indicate the size of the stars. It's all very obscure and unreadable

I think you can change the appearance of stars by modifying particles.png in a resource pack. Maybe there's some extra space you could fill up.

 

...nah, I don't see anything, it just appears to be hardcoaded. I think it's the `double d3 = (double)(0.15F + random.nextFloat() * 0.1F);` line that determines the size, but I'm not sure how to change it.

Maybe double d3 = (double)(0.25F + random.nextFloat() * 0.1F); ?
