Often, shaders and resource packs add hyper-realistic clouds to the game, which look good but don't match with Minecraft's style. This mod aims to fix that, adding volumetric, multi-layered clouds that don't clash with the style of Minecraft. ## Features - Adds simple volumetric clouds that doesn't clash with the style of the rest of the game. - Cloud appearance is highly customizable; practically every option can be changed. Go wild! - Built-in shader presets to make the clouds look good. Supports Complementary, BSL, Chocapic, Kappa, Rethinking Voxels, and Solas. - Cloud generation is customizable via resource packs. - Built-in compatibility with visual mods, such as Iris, Serene Seasons, and more! - Performs just as well or potentially even better than vanilla cloud rendering. - Available for Fabric and NeoForge. ## Download [Download Better Clouds on Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/better-clouds) ## Contributions Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project! See the full list [here](https://github.com/Qendolin/better-clouds/blob/development/Contributions.md). ## Wiki The wiki documents every setting, explains how to create presets, and includes a list of compatible shaders.

Derivative works **must have a clearly distinct name and logo** to avoid confusion with the official "Better Clouds". #### Examples - "Better Clouds Forge", is too similar and can be confused as an official publication for Forge. - "Better Clouds Reforged", this is fine, as "Reforged" is a common term for unofficial ports to Forge. - "Better Clouds (Unofficial)", if this is where your imagination ends, this is also fine.
