The '''moon''' is a celestial body that appears during the ''[[Minecraft]]'' night.

During the
[[Grass]] blocks and [[sapling]]s will not grow in moonlight, nor will they decay. To grow them at night requires the use of light sources such as [[torch]]es. On the other hand, [[crops]] will continue to grow.
Nighttime can be skipped entirely using a

Together with the moon, the night sky also consists of stars. Stars appear as bright points, and the starfield rotates with the moon as the night progresses. Because they rise in the east and descend in the west, you can navigate by the stars even when the moon is not visible.

== Phases ==
The Moon goes through eight [[Wikipedia:Lunar phase|lunar phases]], and changes phase every night. This allows the player to keep rough track of the passage of time, even after spending a few game days underground.
[[File:Moon Phases.gif|right|frame|The moon, showing its phases (viewed on the western sky).]]
The phases are (in chronological order as they appear in-game):▼
▲The phases are (in chronological order as they appear in-game):

There is no explicit [[command]] to change the moon's phase, but using {{cmd|time add 24000}} will advance time by one day, and therefore to the next phase. To go back one phase, using {{cmd|time add 168000}} will advance time by 7 days, which is one full lunar cycle minus one moon phase.
