Variable Biome Fog

by Technicboyman

Variable Biome Fog gives each biome its own fog color, replacing the grey-white haze the overworld shows everywhere.

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft draws the same greyish white fog in every overworld biome, which can feel repetitive when travelling across regions. This mod assigns fog colors that suit each biome's theme, so the air looks different from one area to the next. The aim is a more distinct atmosphere in the world without changing terrain or generation. Variable Biome Fog is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 only, released under All rights reserved and not open source. It is client-side only, so servers run without it. The mod is still in beta and the author notes some features are still planned.

Key features

  1. Biome-themed fog colors

    Each biome receives a fog color chosen to match its look, such as cooler tones in cold regions.

  2. Less uniform overworld

    Fog no longer stays the same grey-white across the overworld, so crossing biome borders is visible in the sky and distance.

  3. Beta release

    Version 0.1 is a beta build, and the author plans to add further features in later updates.

What the author says

Minecraft fog in the overworld has always been the same, no matter where you go. It even gets boring sometimes having the same greyish white fog color. This mod aims to enhance each biome by giving it a unique fog color, to enhance the aesthetics of your world. Note that this mod is currently in beta as it is missing…
