SuperFancyClouds: Refabricated

by Rivmun

SuperFancyClouds: Refabricated replaces the vanilla cloud layer with a configurable, dynamic cloud system for Minecraft Java Edition.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

Clouds can be set in height, density, width and thickness, and most other parts of their appearance are adjustable. The clouds respond to the current weather and biome, changing density as conditions shift. Near dawn and dusk they take on a blush, and their bottom faces grow darker as they thicken. Higher mountains and tall buildings push clouds aside rather than passing through them. The look is inspired by the RealisticClouds mod and continues the unofficial work of the original SuperFancyClouds project.

The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Architectury API is required on every loader. Cloud Glass, Cloud Tweaks and Weather Clouds are listed as alternatives in this catalog. Files are published for 25 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published. The license is the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Dynamic cloud density

    Density follows the biome downfall value and the weather, with a density curve that can be shaped in the config screen.

  2. Fog and sampling options

    Fog can cover the clouds, and the cloud noise sampler can be tuned for step count and biome influence.

  3. Remote server configuration

    A dedicated server can change the feature settings through commands, and players see the same cloud shape when both sides run the mod.

  4. Config and in-game help

    The config screen covers the clouds, and typing the sfcr help command in chat lists the available options.

Questions

Does SuperFancyClouds: Refabricated need Architectury API?

Yes. Architectury API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside the mod on every loader.

Does the server need the mod?

Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Both sides can enable the server function through the config if desired.

Which loader should players choose for SuperFancyClouds: Refabricated?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The latest Fabric and NeoForge builds target 26.3, and the latest Forge build targets 1.19.2.

Can server administrators change the cloud settings remotely?

Yes. A dedicated server command list lets administrators control the SFCR feature config remotely.
