Northern lights

The sky's the beginning.


Available for NeoForge Available for Fabric
Available on GitHub Available on Modrinth Available on CurseForge

Cirrus is designed to be used without Iris or shader packs.

Cirrus is a client-side skybox overhaul that stays close to Minecraft's vanilla style. It adds layered clouds, richer nights, and weather-aware effects, all with an in-game config.

Client-side only. You can use Cirrus on multiplayer servers without installing it on the server.

Features

Sky transition

What It Adds

  • Three independently moving cloud layers with adjustable height, speed, opacity, and render distance
  • Customizable morning, day, evening, and night gradients with smooth palette transitions
  • Clouds that darken with storms and light up around lightning
  • Narrow, layered lightning bolts with deterministic branching and electric glow
  • Configurable stars with twinkle, color variation, and a North Star
  • Occasional shooting stars with customizable trails, speed, color, and glow
  • A rotating Milky Way and a subtle night-sky color palette
  • Animated northern lights that appear in cold biomes by default (configurable!)
  • A configurable End sky with moving clouds, lightning, and waves of spreading darkness

Every major effect can be adjusted or turned off!!!
