Description
"Beautiful clouds in touch with the vanilla style"
Please, feel free to report any issues
Better Clouds adds volumetric clouds to Minecraft, in a simple, blocky style that matches the rest of the game.
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.

Restrictions on Name and Logo use
I do not grant permission for the use of the name "Better Clouds" or its logo for publication of derivative works.
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.
