[MC-1380] The Sky Colors of Dawn and Dusk Change When the Player Turns Their Head

The colors of the sky (in the same place) during sunrise and sunset are more vivid when the player looks closer to the sun and less vivid when the player looks away. Perhaps this is intentional, but it is annoying to have to look in a certain direction to have a better understanding of the time.

Yes, this is intentional.

Nils Drescher 2012-11-03T12:47:21Z

Also happens in 3rd person view!

It isn't a bug, is ''realistic minecraft''
If you see the dawn in the real life, It's the same

Nils Drescher 2012-11-03T13:37:54Z

So you want to tell me there is a difference in sky color if I look at it directly or look at it while seeing another person?
That doesn't make any sense.

How is this, which is clearly intended behavior, not being closed and marked as such, while the missing colours on the map, which is clearly an unfinished feature, is closed and marked as intended (again, which not entirely so)? This does not make sense, dear mods.

I can confirm this in 1.5.2 It doesn't make any sense to be a feature.

Marios 2013-09-26T10:40:37Z

Yes it affects Minecraft 1.6.4 and snapshot 13w38c.

Oliver Kruse 2014-02-21T21:55:14Z

Confirmed in 14w08a. Looking to the west at sunset will let the sky look red (e.g. /set time 13000). The more you turn away towards e.g. the north, the less intensive the color at the initially position will be.

Itouch2 2014-04-22T14:53:16Z

Confirmed for 1.7.5, 1.7.9 and 14w11

Still in 1.8

Sonicwave 2014-11-28T00:22:58Z

Confirmed for 1.8.1.

Sam Benham 2015-03-19T22:24:45Z

that is intentional

Alexander 2015-10-30T22:03:39Z

Confirmed for 15w44b.

For those saying that "this is intentional", the colour of the sky (in real life) doesn't change depending on which way you turn your head. It becomes very apparent that this is a bug (and a bit annoying) if you simply do /time set 13000 and look at and away of the orange of the sunset.

Erik Broes 2015-11-09T09:19:34Z

Try looking at a sunset 😃

Sam Bone 2015-12-03T17:15:00Z

Try it with night vision!

Sam Bone 2016-04-04T21:03:52Z

I'm not sure that it's intended.....

Okay, I feel stupid. I reported this about night vision, which amplifies it greatly, so, what about with night vision? Is that a bug?

[Mod] redstonehelper 2016-04-05T15:34:13Z

If it happens even without night vision then the behavior is intended for night vision as well.
