Foggy Pale Garden

A Minecraft modification that adds fog to the Pale Garden biome. However, you can customize any type of fog in any location according to your preferences!

🎭 Features

🌫️ Fog in the Pale Garden

The natural atmosphere of the Pale Garden biome is now enveloped in fog, creating a mysterious and gloomy ambiance.

🕳️ Underground Space Without Fog

Fog does not spread into caves beneath the Pale Garden, maintaining visibility clarity underground.

🪽 Free Flying

The ability to fly over the Pale Garden is not limited by fog - users can freely move in the airspace.

🎨 Ready Fog Presets

Pre-made fog settings are available, along with the ability to create custom presets or automatic fog adjustment depending on the game's difficulty level.

🧗‍♀️ Fog Formation Conditions

Allow creating various fog types even in the same location with different parameters.

🔧 Creating Fog by Conditions

Create different fog types based on any set of conditions. For example, this preset creates pre-dawn fog during clear weather in all biomes.
