Sky Fracture adds an entire new layer of the Overworld that spawns at y 270 and higher, adding several new sky biomes and more! however you will need an Oxygen Mask in order to survive in the Sky Layer since theres less oxygen in the higher parts of the world, when in the Sky Layer, you should be in 1 of 8 new biomes, youll also notice you have infinite slow falling due less air resistance! and also since theres a lot less Oxygen, Torches and Campfires will burn out when placed up in the Sky!
