Pale Garden Effects
With Pale Garden Effects installed, the Pale Garden biome gets new visuals, including a pale world look, fog and light from Open Eyeblossoms.
What it does
Pale Garden Effects is a client-side visual mod for the Pale Garden biome. It adds a standalone visual layer to the biome, a pale world treatment and a fog effect that fills the garden. Open Eyeblossoms emit light, so they stand out in the dimmed biome after dark.
The effects change only how the biome looks on the client, so a server does not need the mod and players can join without installing it. It requires Evening Star Lib, Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings. The fog render works with Iris when shaders are in use, while on other setups the effects apply without shader support. The mod is compatible with Fog, though it may appear differently there, and the author has not tested it alongside mods that add similar features.
Files exist for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.3, with snapshot builds published. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
