What it does

Made with love

Every feature was designed to be an art piece.

Ghibli clouds

Fluffy, pixelated clouds drift across the skies, change colours with time and cast shadows on the land below.

Rainbows

When the rain clears up, a rainbow can rise over the land.

Real weather

Rain mist, storms with thunder flashes, and beams of sunlight breaking through the clouds.

Puddles & ripples

Rain creates pixelated, animated ripples on water and leaves reflective, pixelated puddles.

Water

Reflections, sparkles, foam on the shore, and a deep blue world when you dive in.

Water wakes

Leave wakes and foam behind you or your boat when swimming, without any extra mods.

Coloured light

Torches, lava and glowing blocks light up the world around them in their own colours.

Sunbeams

Sunlight pours in through windows, and coloured glass tints the light that passes through it.

Every dimension

The Nether and the End get skies, fog and colours of their own.

Far views

Works with Voxy, so cities and mountains stay in sight far into the distance.
