Hey guys! Here is the latest test build for Dramatic Skys (1.9.7.8a). In this version there is the new shooting star mapping that increases realism and immersion. Along with this is Fabric support for shooting stars as it was not included previously due to an axis issue.
Please test and enjoy! If there are issues please let me know and we can get it ironed out before the general release!

Hey guys! Here is the latest beta of Dramatic Skys (1.9.7.6), which is quite a large update all things considered.

Changelog:
-Up to date (1.19.3)
-Works with Fabric Skyboxes and Optifine

Here it is guys! Beta 1.9.7.4, the update that adds height based clouds!
Just one more way to make the pack that much more immersive. These sky textures will pop up in every biome once you are above the height of clouds in Minecraft 100-120 blocks. There is a sky for:
-Day
-Sunrise/Sunset
-Night
I am also in the process of making a stormy version so when there is weather at high altitudes there will be a different sky set for that as well!

In this preview are the textures for:
-Day
-Sunrise/sunset
-Night
-Weather variants
This is a zip of the textures themselves without property files. They are there for you to test and see what you think. You can easily replace a sky in a pack with it and test it along with the other skys, that or just even get an early preview in game!
