Description
About
Watch the night sky come alive with glowing meteor showers and teardrop trails. Meteors streak across the sky in warm amber and crimson hues, fully compatible with Iris shaders. Showers can fire automatically on random nights or be triggered manually with a command — four sizes, from a lone shooting star to a sweeping spectacle that fills the sky.
Features
- 4 Shower Sizes: Single (1 meteor), Small (30 s), Medium (60 s), Large (90 s)
- Teardrop Trails: Each meteor leaves a smooth glowing trail that fades behind it
- Warm Color Palette: Amber, crimson, and orange tones that feel natural in the night sky
- Iris Shader Compatible: Automatically falls back to the correct render path when a shaderpack is active
- Nightly Auto-Events: Every night, a shower may spawn at random — probability per size is fully configurable
- Command Control: Start, stop, and inspect showers at any time with
/prettymeteors - Burnout Mechanic: Meteors naturally fade and shrink as they travel, giving a realistic burnout effect

Nightly Events
