Description

Formerly known as **FabricSkyBoxes**, **Nuit** is a powerful and flexible custom skybox engine for Minecraft. It goes far beyond OptiFine’s skybox system, offering rich features like **keyframe-based transitions**, **rotation**, **custom weather rendering**, and now full support for both **Fabric** and **NeoForge**! Design immersive skies with dynamic day/night cycles, custom fog, sunrise/sunset glow, and more — all backed by a robust, extensible skybox format. > ⚠️ Nuit is currently in **beta**.
