From The Skies
From The Skies is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that makes the sky and its skybox a source of hazards, odd block conversions and a custom dimension.
What it does
Several effects run in the world around the player. Breaking through walls disables the ability to phase through them. Climbing and building blocks close to the player, such as ladders, hay and cobwebs, convert into base items on their own. Water bubble columns, seagrass and waterlogged blocks are drained, and soul sand and soil are turned into regular sand. Glass near the player gives way over time, its cracks spreading outward.
The mod includes a SkyboxX entity whose design was made by the author's brother, and it works alongside the horror addon TheBrokenScript, which adds skyboxx_ content. A custom dimension called Skylands is based on an old beta version that was removed from the game, with abandoned structures, and the SkyboxX mobs drop rotten flesh. Skybox behavior and the other effects can be adjusted in the in-game config, and the author notes that staying in the sky for too long is risky.
Client and server means both the server and every player need the mod. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest one, 1.1.0-BETA, released on 2026-07-22 on the beta channel. The first release was on 2026-05-27.
