Javier's improved fog

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Vanilla only.

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.11⬇ Download for 1.21.6–1.21.8
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Javier's Improved Fog – Minecraft Java Shader

Javier's Improved Fog replaces Minecraft’s default fog system with a custom density curve for a more realistic and immersive visual experience. Unlike vanilla fog, which can appear too close or fade abruptly, this shader delivers a smooth, natural transition.

Main Features:

Distant & soft fog – starts farther from the player, giving clear visibility nearby and gradual haze in the distance. Custom progressive curve – almost linear at first, then smoothly blending into full fog, avoiding sharp cutoffs. Enhanced realism – perfect for exploration and scenic builds. Fully compatible with vanilla shaders and resource packs that don’t modify the fog core shader.

Recommended settings: Set your render distance to 32 chunks for the best experience.

Installation:

Download the .zip file of Javier's Improved Fog.

Place it in your resourcepacks folder.

Enable it from Minecraft’s Resource Pack settings.

Enjoy a smooth and immersive fog effect.

Javier's Improved Fog – Shader para Minecraft Java

Javier's Improved Fog reemplaza el sistema de niebla predeterminado de Minecraft por una curva de densidad personalizada para una experiencia visual más realista e inmersiva. A diferencia de la niebla vanilla, que puede aparecer demasiado cerca o desvanecerse bruscamente, este shader logra una transición suave y natural.

Características principales:

Niebla lejana y suave – comienza más lejos del jugador, manteniendo la visibilidad clara cerca y un velo gradual en la distancia. Curva progresiva personalizada – casi lineal al inicio y suavizada hacia el final, evitando cortes bruscos. Mayor realismo – ideal para exploración y construcciones panorámicas. Totalmente compatible con shaders vanilla y packs de recursos que no modifiquen el shader base fog.

Ajustes recomendados: Configura tu distancia de renderizado a 32 chunks para la mejor experiencia.

Instalación:

Descarga el archivo .zip de Javier's Improved Fog.

Colócalo en tu carpeta resourcepacks.

Actívalo desde el menú de Paquetes de Recursos de Minecraft.

Disfruta de un efecto de niebla suave e inmersivo.
