📸 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
