Nicer Skies Reforged
by ENC_Euphony
Nicer Skies Reforged is a NeoForge port of the Nicer Skies sky and lightmap mod, changing how the sky and lighting look on the client.
What it does
The mod changes the sky and light on the client, as a port of the Nicer Skies project made for NeoForge. The changes include night sky rendering in slightly different colours and a lightmap that is a little more vibrant, particularly in dark areas. The author describes these as a matter of personal preference, and the lightmap adjustments can be turned off as a final step. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, is open source, and builds exist for 1.21.1 alone.
Key features
Twinkling sky points
The night sky points flicker slightly with colours that differ from the original Nicer Skies rendering.
Adjusted lightmap
The lightmap is tweaked to be a little more vibrant, with the strongest effect in dark areas.

The project is a migration of Nicer Skies to NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1.
