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 full support for both Fabric and NeoForge.
Design immersive skies with dynamic day/night cycles, custom fog, sunrise/sunset glow, weather-aware rendering, and more, all backed by a robust JSON skybox format.
> Nuit is currently in beta. Some features may evolve over time. Feedback is welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use OptiFine/MCPatcher skybox packs?
Nuit does not support those formats natively. Use Nuit Interop to load compatible OptiFine/MCPatcher custom sky resource packs through Nuit.
Is it modpack friendly?
Yes. Nuit is licensed under MIT and fully modpack-compatible.
What happened to FabricSkyBoxes?
FabricSkyBoxes has been rebranded to Nuit to reflect its expanded scope beyond Fabric.
