Moonxyfied's Better Skies is a Minecraft Java resource pack that changes the sky texture.
The pack is made for players who want a different looking sky in Minecraft. It only changes sky visuals and does not change blocks, items, mobs, GUI, sounds, or gameplay.
What this pack changes:
- Sky textures
- Night sky appearance
- Stars and moon-themed sky visuals
What this pack does not do:
- It does not add shaders
- It does not add gameplay features
- It does not change blocks or items
- It does not work as a mod
- It does not change the server
Important:
This pack uses custom sky features. Vanilla Minecraft may not show the custom sky correctly by itself.
For the full sky effect, use OptiFine or a compatible custom sky mod such as Skyboxify.
Results may vary depending on your Minecraft version, settings, installed mods, and resource pack order.
