ATMOSPHERICS
by Beash
With Atmospherics installed, the fog, sky, clouds, haze and night sky change as a player moves between biomes.
What it does
Atmospherics lets each biome carry its own fog, sky, cloud and haze settings, and those values shift in real time as the player crosses a biome border. Transitions between biomes are smoothed rather than switching in one step, so the view does not jump. Falling comets can be customized as part of the same atmosphere settings.
Day and night can carry separate atmosphere settings, so a biome looks different at dusk than at noon. The night sky has its own customization options. Story Mode Clouds is a separate set of clouds with a dedicated settings menu, and solid clouds without shading are available as an option.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and a server can run without it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric build, 2.6.7, targets 26.3 on the beta channel. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
Key features
Per-biome atmosphere
Fog, sky, clouds, haze and the night sky are set separately for each biome and update in real time.
Smooth biome transitions
The atmosphere blends between neighboring biomes so the change does not happen all at once.
Day and night settings
Separate atmosphere values can be applied to daytime and nighttime in the same biome.
Story Mode Clouds
A cloud layer with its own dedicated settings menu, separate from the standard cloud options.
Solid clouds
Clouds can be drawn without shading for a flat, solid look.

Use cases
Custom resource pack presets
A resource pack can include a custom Atmospherics preset, and the hotkey B opens the mod's interface; it can be rebound in the game settings.
Who it’s for: Players who want to tune the look of biomes, and resource pack authors who want to ship their own atmosphere presets.
How it compares
Dynamic Clouds is a client-side mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 26.3, with All rights reserved licensing and no open source code. Barometry is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4 under All rights reserved. Cosmos is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.21.8 – 26.3, also under All rights reserved. Atmospherics differs from these by covering both Fabric and NeoForge with per-biome and day-night atmosphere control.
