Smooth Skies
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.
Smooth Skies
A very simple mod that smooths out the fog color when using high render distances, such as with Nvidium! Also has other customizable features and fixes, see gallery for screenshots and section below!
Features
- Set Fog View Distance
- Fixes the hard fog cutoff when using high render distances
- Can be customized to increase the height of the fog, see Gallery for screenshots
- Fix Skybox Clipping
- Fixes skybox getting cut off (i.e. holes/gaps) at low render distances by increasing far plane clipping
- Notably fixes Limbo on Hypixel
- This fixes MC-298225
- Lower Sky Void Darkness
- Sets the void darkness to only show close to the world's lowest Y value instead of a fixed value
- This fixes the black void you can sometimes see while below sea level (obvious in skyblock-type worlds)
- Clear Skies
- Removes the fog color altogether, making the sky a single color
- Ported from grondag's Clear Skies mod
- Remove Sky in the Void
- Stops rendering the sky when the player is below the minimum build height (the void)
- May cause an abrupt skybox change
- This fixes MC-249655
