Cloud Tweaks

Release!!

Changelogs

• For this release

  • Fixed and tested the resource searching quirk in alpha.2

    Only limitation of this is you can't specify the exact path (environment/clouds will not work) due to the how I handled searching internally (will fix). If there're ambiguous texture files, the one found first by Minecraft's internal API will be selected.

    • Now that will work just fine.

• Summary for all development versions

  • Improved config UX
  • Added Nether/End clouds support (fixes the corresponding bug and gives more customization for the 3 players out of 100 millions that actually wanted this)
  • Removed global preset and instead replaced with per-category preset
  • Added custom texture support for clouds for shits and giggles
  • Rewritten rendering engine wrapper (was not mentioned earlier)
  • Fixed a flickering bug

Again, thank you all for your support, the ones who downloaded and played with the mod, and those who contributed by reporting the bugs and suggested features!

Changelogs

• Content
  • Added custom cloud texture customization for layers
    • The texture is specified with the texture namespace (namespace the texture is in, explicitly defaulted to "minecraft") and the filename without extension ("clouds" instead of "clouds.png")
      • Only limitation of this is you can't specify the exact path (environment/clouds will not work) due to the how I handled searching internally (will fix). If there're ambiguous texture files, the one found first by Minecraft's internal API will be selected.
    • You can choose to flip the cloud on X and Z axes (used in config as flip_x and flip_y respectively).
    • You can choose to keep the texture's original color, which will look something like this ("minecraft" namespace with "edition" as texture name):
• Issues
  • Cloud color, lighting and light source presets are still incomplete
  • Texture searching issue (as mentioned above)

enough of a break, gotta read the issues

Changelog

• UX
  • Changed "Grid Size" to cloud distance in Chunks (separate settings from Vanilla)
  • Changed Fog settings to use chunks instead of raw numbers
  • Changed sliders with gigantic ranges to use number inputs (cloud height)
• Content
  • Added clouds for Nether/End (bug turned into a feature, idek if someone even uses this)
• Preset system
  • Removed global presets, replaced with per-category preset (cloud color presets, lighting setting presets and light source presets)
  • Added layer presets for cloud layers (incomplete)
• Performance
  • Fixed rendering desync causing flickering
• Bug fixes
  • With the addition of clouds in other dimensions, the bug of clouds appearing in other dimensions will be marked as resolved once the mod is ported to affected versions. (issue #34)
  • Added layer offset to prevent height-perfect alignment of clouds and blocks that lead to Z-fighting (issue #33)

The mod is still in the experimental stage, so breaking changes are expected. Back up your config before updating.
