Description

# Nicer Skies ### Nebulas This mod renders a seed/server-dependent skybox that is 100% generated in runtime with cool shader-like nebulas. ![2022-11-07_15 12 41](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/gsJ6q45e/images/a5f425ae1e5a469dc5997f91b1f9f535cb4e3021.png) ### Star rendering Stars will twinkle and be of slightly different colours [Click here to see a video!](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/57519662/195574727-11e11ce6-73b6-4786-b6cf-4e38d4b5cd26.mp4) ### Lightmap changes The lightmap has been a little tweaked to my personal preference to be a little more vibrant and dark, but it's 100% sure that these changes will be optional in the final product. ![lightmap](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/57519662/195578328-053f5d84-a9db-4e44-a4a7-4ecc4f25af37.gif) ## Configuring Configuring the mod requires Mod Menu, otherwise it's stuck at the default settings seen below.
