Free Godot Shader: 2D Day and Night Sky with Sun, Moon, Stars and Clouds (DimensionAlmios)

Overview

DimensionAlmios shares a full sky in one shader on Godot Shaders, driven by a single value: hour goes from 0 to 24 and the gradient moves through night, dawn, day and dusk. The sun and the moon travel their arc and set behind the horizon, stars come out at night and clouds drift by, with settings for colours, sun and moon size, moon phase, star density and cloud speed.

It goes on a ColorRect that covers the sky, works with the Compatibility renderer, and is dithered so the gradients do not band. The shader code is on the page under the MIT license, and the author also links a free demo project on itch.io.
