I watch a natural look for in between some flagstone I'm laying for a sidewalk and patio. I found a recipe for making my own moss but someone told me it won't work in direct sunlight. Is this true? If so, what else could I use that would be natural looking?

I planted irish moss (Sagina subulata) between flagstones that get afternoon sun but true moss replaced it in places. Now it is mixed. Irish moss flowers so is not a moss but the little green tuffets look very moss-like.
In the back under trees the violets (Viola odorata, V labradorica) took hold. They stay nicely in bounds by being walked on.
Wire vine (Muehlenbeckia axillari) is creeping slowly out into the interstices and wooley thyme is doing well in sun with water at the edges. Wire vine needs to be sheared in spring to refresh and thicken the plants. The wire vine is over growing the thyme in most places.
(Leptinella squalida) Brass Buttons is brown and black so it looks soil colored but if you look close it is gracefull and fern-like.
On the north side I used (Soleirolia) Baby's Tears.
One of my favorites is Sheepburr (Acaena caesiiglauca) in a lovely blue-green. There is a copper colored one 'Kupferteppich' (Acaena microphylla).
