The moon is weirdly rotated

The moon looks like it's abnormally rotated when it shows up.

How to produce:

Set the time to night.
Look at the moon.

If it isn't intended behavior, then it should be. In the real world, if the observer is near the equator, they would see the moon's crescent as parallel to the horizon much like it is shown in-game. Its only at northern/southern latitudes that the moon appears angled against the horizon.

Since the game world is flat, and the sun's zenith is the midpoint directly above, then the moon would appear like at the equator.

A bigger inaccuracy would be related to the moon rising at the same time every single day, but It makes sense that players need a visual means of telling the time. As such, it should appear as a full moon every single night if it rises at the same time as sunset.

Can confirm this in v1.1.3.
