Horizon
With Horizon installed, players see custom skybox textures in the world, a downloadable port of FabricSkyboxes updated for recent game versions.
What it does
Horizon brings custom skybox support to Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt. It is a port of the FabricSkyboxes project for versions 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, and it is client-side only, so a server never needs it. The source code is open, under the MIT License.
The project was started because the original FabricSkyboxes owner had fallen behind on updates for newer versions, and the fork's author wanted the skybox feature available on current releases. Builds exist for 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric and Quilt file dated 2026-04-26 and the latest NeoForge file dated 2026-02-11.
The author notes that the original mod still exists and that the fork's maintainer plans to keep it going until the original project catches up. The author also suggests other skybox packs for players who want a different setup.
Key features
Custom skybox textures
The mod loads skybox textures into the sky so the look of the world can be changed on the player's own game.
Sky appearance changes
Skybox packs swap the sky seen above the world, so the daytime and nighttime backdrop can differ from vanilla.
Client-side skybox loading
Skybox files are read by the player's game, so the feature works without any change to a server.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

What the author says
Nuit/FabricSkyboxes seems to be on most modern versions for now. Please use it instead of this fork. Horizon is an updated version of the mod Nuit by FlashyReese, which allows for resource packs to create custom skyboxes in both Fabric and Neoforge - similar to what Optifine does. Please check out the original mod…
