Minecraft that still looks like Minecraft, but feels like a spaghetti western. Sun-baked light, long shadows, drifting dust, enormous skies and blood-orange sunsets. You’re not watching a western on TV, you’re riding through one.
☀️ Light & Shadow
- Warm, sun-baked daylight and long golden-hour shadows
- Soft shadows that blur the further they fall, and coloured light through stained glass
- God rays through windows, trees and canyons
- Flickering firelight, and torches or lanterns light your way when you hold them
- Soft contact shading in corners and under overhangs
🌪️ Weather
- Sandstorms: storms in deserts, badlands and savannas become real drifting dust storms, with rolling billows and sand grains whipping past. Step indoors and the air goes calm while the storm rages outside the windows.
- Thunderheads: colossal storm clouds up to 40° tall, and different every day. You’ll see lone giants, walls of towers in a squall line, banded supercells and building cumulus, with anvils passing overhead, rain curtains and lightning glowing inside them.
- Lightning that lights up the land, and rain that leaves puddles you can see the sky in
🏜️ The Desert
- Mirages: distant sand shimmers like water at midday
- Heat shimmer over hot ground
- Smoky, lamp-lit saloon interiors
🌌 Night & Sky
- A pixel-art Milky Way, twinkling stars, moon halo and blue hour
- Clouds lit by the sky around them, white by day and soft at dusk
- A brand new End: a deep violet void with a drifting nebula, pixel-art stars and a slowly turning rift overhead
💧 Water
- Reflections, waves, rippling caustics and pixel shore foam
🎬 Showdown Mode
Switch Look to Showdown for letterbox bars, lens flare, film grain and a hotter grade. It’s made for screenshots and trailers.
⚙️ Performance
Four profiles (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), and every effect can be switched off or tuned. The pack keeps the vanilla style, so it stays light.
Distant Horizons is supported: far terrain is lit, hazed and storm-dusted exactly like nearby land.
