Vanilla Cloud Fix

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 Resource pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.5⬇ Download for 1.17–1.21.1
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.
Vanilla Cloud Fix — screenshot 1

Vanilla Cloud Fix addresses two issues that I have with vanila clouds. The clouds are now properly centered on the player, and correctly fade out at the edge of the sky. This resourcepack uses vanilla shaders and may not work correctly for future versions.

Minecraft versions 1.21.2 and above please use the latest version!! Vanila Cloud Fix (1.21.2+) (v1.1)

Older Minecraft versions use Vanilla Cloud Fix 1.17-1.21.1 (v1.0.1)

When using with versions below 1.20.2, you will be told that the pack is made for an older version. You can safely ignore this and it should work!

Vanilla Cloud Fix is also on curseforge.

Note that some performance enhancing mods already correct for the cloud issues present in vanilla, so the effects of this shader can vary.

Features

Vanilla clouds don't always appear to fade out correctly at the edge of the view. Vanilla Cloud Fix improves the fade out by properly scaling opacity with distance. View the results below.

Before and after screenshot depicting the Vanilla Game's clouds that DO NOT fade out correctly, and the correct Vanilla Cloud Fix's clouds that do fade out correctly.

The vanilla clouds are not properly centered on the player and have an inaccurate offset in the positive X and Z direction, as shown in the figure below. Vanilla Cloud Fix corrects this offset using an approximation of -7 to correctly center the clouds. View the results below.

This comparison uses real screenshots at Y level 600~ looking down at the clouds using a modified cloud shader.
