AmbientOverride StationAPI
by Telvarost
AmbientOverride StationAPI changes the fog on Beta clients, with fog density and color that shift by biome, depth and time of day.
What it does
The client-side mod replaces the fog of the Beta build with a dynamic system. Fog can follow an exponential growth curve instead of the older linear approach, and the fog density near the surface, the fog color of each biome and the fog in caves all follow their own rules. Caves are desaturated and darkened at lower Y levels, and the density increases as a player nears Y level 28. The level shifts slightly from day to day, and the intensity of the fog varies over the course of each day, with values changing at midnight.
The settings are changed through GlassConfigAPI, which exposes the feature's maximum intensity, the base fog density and the toggles for each fog behavior. Because the mod runs on the client, players can adjust it on their own machines without any server change. The mod is built on StationAPI, and Mod Menu is an optional dependency for opening its configuration screen. Files are published for Fabric and Babric, and only the Beta build is supported.

How it compares
Peanutbutter is a client and server mod for the Beta build under the MIT License, so it also needs to be installed on the server, while AmbientOverride StationAPI is client-side only. Biome Fog is client-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and built for Fabric and Quilt on 1.19 – 1.20.6, so its version range does not overlap with this mod's Beta support.
