Better Skies is a resource pack that adds realistic atmospheres to Minecraft.

Even though Minecraft can be a pretty game, it is not known to be very realistic. Its a very common desire to want to inject a little more realism into the game. While realistic atmospheres can be added using shaderpacks, the good ones are pretty performance intensive. And so the solution to this is a resourcepack. It is considerably lighter than a shaderpack while still upholding the goal is to add realistic atmospheres with comparatively little performance hit.

  • You will need OPTIFINE for Minecraft versions before 1.18.2 and Better Skies V0.9
  • You will need NUIT for Minecraft versions above 1.20.1 and Better Skies V1.0+

All this resource pack does is change the sky so it should be compatible with other resourcepacks. Shader compatibility varies on a case by case basis Please don't ask me if a specific shader is compatible. https://tryitands.ee/
