Description

this is an image of the milky way's core from version 1.3.1

Hello!, this is a mod that adds on to the mod Astrocraft making its skies more realistic! (or less depending on how you configure it)

IMPORTANT: make sure that the version of Astrocraft your using is 1.5.1+1.20.1.

Features: Nodal and Apsidal precession: while it is true that astrocraft adds that it only adds it to moons but this adds to planets too!, Custom Axial Tilts (you can edit axial tilts in the base mod but those tilts are locked and every planet will have the same tilt) + Axial tilt variation: you can choose the axial tilt with a minimum and maximum value and an axial tilt variation period!, Custom Day Lengths + Custom Sky Colors: this mod allows you to have custom day lengths with custom sky colors matching up with the lengths! NOTE: these are solar day lengths not rotational periods, and more!

Planned Features:
Axial Precession, Configurable Comets.
