Description from the author on Modrinth

Default HD is the normal Minecraft experience but in amazing 128x, 256x, and 512x HD. This pack is different from the rest with its smooth shading and shadows! Gives a shaders feel without the awful performance hit!

This addon pack is for the HD sun and Moon from Default HD as a standalone pack! It is suitable for many packs due to the nature of the textures so I thought it would be nice to have it's own stand alone addon to spice up any packs you may use!
