Block of Sky
Block of Sky, a LuminaSapphira decoration mod, lets a block render the sky dimension, with Block Void and redstone controls for the same effect.
What it does
A block added by the mod draws the sky dimension on its faces instead of its ordinary texture, so a build can show a view of the sky inside a space that would otherwise be enclosed. A second block, Block Void, renders the End Gateway effect, and the mod ties both blocks to redstone so a signal can switch the effect on or off in a build.
Block of Sky requires Architectury API, which must be installed alongside it on every loader. Both the server and each player's client have to run it, since the mod works only as a pair. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
Development on the mod is public: the source code and an issue tracker are linked from its page. Its first file dates from 2022-12-20, and the latest update, version 0.3.0 for 1.20.1, came on 2023-08-29 on the beta channel.
Key features
Sky rendering block
A block that displays the sky dimension on its surfaces, for building skyward views inside enclosed spaces.
End Gateway effect block
Block Void draws the End Gateway effect, giving builds a dark portal-like surface.
Redstone control
Both blocks respond to redstone, so a circuit can turn the rendered effect on or off.
Sky dimension view
The rendered sky is the sky dimension itself, not a painted texture, so it reflects the world's sky.
