About
Hyper Realistic Sky is the biggest, most versatile and feature rich sky pack you will ever find out there. The pack has 8 unique cloud sets that will change depending on the biome you're in. There are also unique skies for all types of weather, when you will usually see dense rain clouds, but when it's snowing, you will see fluffy white snow clouds, and when you're in a desert, you will see sandstorms. Each sky has a day, night, sunset and sunrise variant, as well as a low and high altitude variant, making it a total of 88 cloud variants!
On top of that, this pack also features a plethora of special events, such as Solar eclipses, shooting stars, lightning strikes, and even spinning tornadoes. There are many special rare cloud types featured in the pack as well, such as asperitas and mammatus clouds.
In addition, this pack also features several skies for the Nether and End dimensions, that will change depending on the biome you're in. Adding it all up, the pack features a total of 114 unique skyboxes!
As you can see, this a very large and ambitious project, and the best part is, it's all free! If you like what you see, and would like to support me, you can donate through PayPal. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
README
Pick the correct version
- Java vanilla: These versions are set to "alpha" release type.
- Bedrock: Download from the bedrock page.
- Java Modded: This is the main version of the pack, and is set to "release" type. Select a version and scroll down to see the required mod. If more than one dependency is listed for a version, you only need one. When multiple mods are added as a dependency, that means that the pack will work with all of them, but only one of them is needed to get the pack working. Some mods are available on different versions and mod loaders, so I added support for as many as possible for the widest possible compatibility. Version compatibility is set to the pool of all the mods combined, so what you see is possible to run with at least one of the mods. Check the compatibility table below.
- OptiFine: Works with all OptiFine versions, up to release version 2.2. Version 2.3 and above will not work with OptiFine, and thus nor with Skyboxify. The reason for this is, that the pack became too complex for OptiFine's very outdated and basic format.
- Light version: There is a lightweight version of the pack available for download. These versions are set to "beta" release type. Please read their changelogs and check their dependencies. Again, if more than one dependency is listed for a version, you only need one of them. This version does work with OptiFine, and thus also with Skyboxify. Keep in mind that preview versions of OptiFine are most likely broken, so only use this with a release version of OptiFine.
FYI
- Currently the Nether skies do not work with Nuit.
- To check out the many features of the pack, I've provided a text file in the pack that has instructions.
- If you want to disable certain featues of the pack, get Respackopts and use the gizmo in the pack selection screen. Note that if you use Celestial 2.0, the in-game chat will show error messages, but you can ignore those. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions in the text file inside the pack. (this method will not cause error messages to appear)
- Core shaders have been removed from the pack as of v3.4 to allow compatibility with versions above 1.21.1. These shaders facilitated the smooth transition between different sky layers when using Celestial 2.0. If you want to use the latest pack version with Celestial 2.0, download v3.3 and copy the "shaders" folder from "assets/minecraft/" into the latest pack version.
Shaders
This pack does of course work with shaders, but since each shader works differently and has different settings, you will most likely need to tweak them to get a good look.
