Skybox Overhaul
Skybox Overhaul is a client-side Fabric mod that improves Minecraft's skies while preserving the vanilla visual style.
The mod adds dynamic sky colours that change with the sun's position, layered sunrises and sunsets, biome-specific sky tints, and a smoother transition between the sky and horizon.
Features
- Dynamic sky colours — smooth gradients for daytime, golden hour, sunset, twilight and night.
- Layered sunrises and sunsets — gold, orange, pink and violet atmospheric bands, including the Belt of Venus.
- Biome-specific colours — subtle sky colour variations in deserts, oceans, snowy regions, jungles and other supported biomes.
- Improved horizon — soft atmospheric haze with no harsh visual separation between the sky and fog.
- Enhanced night sky — coloured stars of different sizes and brightness, with individual twinkling patterns and vanilla constellations preserved.
- Comets — moving comets with glowing heads and fading tails.
- Animated auroras — dynamic northern lights with flowing waves and occasional bright flares, enabled by default in cold biomes at night.
- Additional cloud layers — two extra layers using custom textures, rendered alongside vanilla clouds.
- Custom sun and moon textures — included as a built-in resource pack that can be disabled independently.
Configuration
Most visual effects can be adjusted through Mod Menu, including sky colour strength, sunset intensity, comet spawn chance, and aurora brightness, speed, frequency and appearance conditions.
