📸 How it works
A skybox is composed of six textures:
- North
- South
- East
- West
- Up
- Down
Once your resource pack is loaded, Skybox Loader automatically replaces the vanilla sky with your custom textures.
📂 Resource Pack Structure
Place your textures in:
assets/
└── skybox/
└── textures/
├── north.png
├── south.png
├── east.png
├── west.png
├── up.png
└── down.png
Make sure the path is exactly correct or the skybox will not load.
🚀 Loading the Resource Pack
You can load your skybox resource pack using mods such as:
- KubeJS
- OpenLoader
- Any other resource-pack loading solution
This makes integration into existing modpacks extremely easy
