Known Issues

The following issues are already known and are planned for Atmos v0.1.1 Beta or future releases:

• Ocean atmosphere can occasionally feel weaker than intended. • Atmospheric weighting over large oceans requires further balancing. • Blue Hour atmosphere requires stronger color tuning. • Ocean visibility requires additional refinement. • Some weather transitions can still appear abrupt. • Atmospheric blending between certain biome combinations can be improved. • A small number of biome atmospheric weights require additional tuning. • Some shader packs override Minecraft's fog rendering, preventing Atmos from displaying its intended effects. • Certain heavily customized modded biomes may temporarily use the default atmospheric profile.

Planned for v0.1.1 Beta

• Stronger ocean atmosphere. • Improved atmospheric weighting. • Better Blue Hour visuals. • Smoother weather transitions. • Improved biome blending. • Expanded modded biome support. • Additional atmospheric tuning. • Bug fixes. • Performance improvements.

Notes

Atmos is designed to enhance Minecraft's vanilla atmosphere rather than replace it.

The mod focuses on immersion, biome identity, smooth transitions, and lightweight performance while preserving Minecraft's original visual style.

Community feedback from the v0.1 Beta release will directly influence future atmospheric improvements.
