Three worlds. One light.
Koto keeps the Minecraft you know and changes everything around it: the light, the air and the water.
OVERWORLD

Reflections that hold the whole valley.

Water that stays calm and clean all the way to the horizon.

Village lights on the water after dark.

A starry sky over the mountain.

Moonlit clouds drifting over the plains.
NETHER

A lava ocean that lights the whole cavern.

Fire, glowstone and lavafalls, each with its own glow.

Red nebulae and floating embers above the roof.
THE END

An aurora over the void.

The dragon between the obsidian pillars.

Looking up into the End sky.
