Nuit (formerly FabricSkyboxes)
Previously released under the name FabricSkyBoxes, the Nuit modification is a powerful and flexible engine for creating custom skyboxes in Minecraft. This solution significantly surpasses the capabilities of OptiFine's skybox system, offering rich functionality like keyframe-based transitions, rotation, weather condition rendering, and now — full support for both Fabric and NeoForge!
Create immersive atmospheres with dynamic day/night cycles, custom fog, sunrise/sunset glows — all thanks to a reliable and extensible sky description format.
The modification is in beta stage, some features may undergo improvements. Feedback is welcome!
