Ticks

by vercim

Ticks, a client-side mod by vercim, makes the sky move smoothly by drawing the skybox at the frame rate instead of the game tick rate.

What it does

The skybox in Ticks is redrawn every frame rather than once per game tick, which makes the sun, moon and celestial bodies travel without visible steps. The change happens only on the player's client, so a server does not need the mod and players join it without installing anything. The author suggests pairing it with shaders for the intended look.

Key features

  1. Smooth skybox motion

    The sky moves continuously between frames, so the sun and moon no longer jump from tick to tick.

  2. Frame-rate rendering

    The skybox is drawn at the rendering frame rate instead of the game tick rate.

  3. Shader compatibility

    The author suggests using Ticks together with shaders for the intended look.

What the author says

Ticks is a simple client-side mod that renders the skybox moving at the frame rate instead of game tick rate. Not recommended for use with shaders! Found a bug or a version incompatibility?
