Expect an update soon <3

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.7: Shooting Stars

The long awaited update that has been teased is now ready. There will than likely be some tweaks to it down the line to make it even better but it works and looks great for the time being! In this update:

-Shooting Stars / Meteor Shower

-Little config tweaks

-Aurora shader fix

-Files preparations for the big update

Thanks again to QuantumEX for the amazing work and help with the pack! 

Default HD Legacy 1.1

Small update of the old legacy version. This is for MC 1.8 and below. Just got rid of some bloat files and such that were laying in the zip.

-Removed unused files
-Updated pack icon

Dramatic Skys Shooting Stars Preview

Here is a small video preview of the upcoming new addition to the pack, shooting stars. This is once again thanks to QuantumEX for helping animate everything. I feel this will add so much more to the pack!

They happen at night at different times, and a meteor shower can even happen!

Update will be out soon!

Clear Skys 1.3

Here is the update for Clear Skys, this adds the animated Aurora to it! With this pack it is viewable in all biomes, not just specific ones. I have also started using Google Drive for uploading the packs. I find it to be easier and more user friendly than Dropbox. I will use it from here on out.

If you have any questions or concerns, let me know in the discord or patreon messages! Enjoy!

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.6.1

Hey guys here is the new beta for Dramatic Skys, this is a patch update but also adds the animated auroras! In this update:

-End sky patch (Should fix any issues where it did not appear during the ender dragon fight)

-Animated Auroras (Thanks to QuantumEX)

-General bug fixes

If you have any issues or questions please let me know! Enjoy!

(Note) Beta 1.9.6 for Dramatic Skys was removed and here's why

Just a heads up Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.6 was removed as I am releasing the new version tomorrow that fixes issues adds more, so it felt redundant. I am sorry for the inconvenience!

It will be uploaded for patrons in the morning/afternoon!

Default HD Beta 1.9.2

Hey guys! New update for Default HD. I know it has been a minute because the focus has been on Dramatic Skys, but I need to share focus a bit more. In this update:

-New block textures added
-Textures Tweaked

Enjoy!

Dramatic Skys and Clear Skys Preview! Animated Aurora!

Thanks to our very own QuantumEX over on the Discord who has a experience with Adobe AEs, I am super happy to show that the Aurora/Northern Lights will now be animated in the pack(s)! I am so excited for this, just one more thing to add realism to the pack!

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.6

Hey guys, wanted to get this update out here for you guys! In this update:

-The End sky has been made
-The End Sky has been applied

Not a "huge" update, but it for sure will add to the realism that the pack provides! Enjoy!

The End Sky is coming to Dramatic Skys!

I got the sky figured out for The End! It will be available in the next update. It is basically the sky from Cosmic Skys with some small edits (mainly being the color change), but it will for sure add a lot more to the pack as far as consistency and style goes. Keep your eyes out!

Dramatic Skys Beta Preview!

Hey guys! Wanted to share this here too since not everyone is in the Discord server (feel free to join if you want!). Just finished up 3 skies for the next beta update and I am very happy with how they turned out, especially the sunrise/sunset sky. The colors as stunning! 

Expect an update soon! Thinking of what biomes these should go in. If you have ideas feel free to comment here or post in the discussion section in the Discord!

Default HD Beta 1.9.1

improve on the previous versions)

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.4!

New Skies with this Update:

-9
-10
-11
-15
-16
-17

This is a good step in the right direction as far as quality goes. I only want the best for this pack and all of you who support me. Much love! If you have any questions, issues, or problems please let me know! Enjoy!

Preview of Beta 1.9.4!

Working on the next update for the beta, planning to replace a few of the skies for better opinions. Likely 3-6 new skies with the new update coming this month. The image here is a preview of one of them. It is a higher res then the one it is replacing and overall is just better.

Hope to have the update out soon! (It will be this month). If you have any questions, issues, or concerns just let me know! Thank you!

Default HD Beta 1.9

It has been a while but I have resumed work on Default HD. I was focused a lot on Dramatic Skys but I am back to splitting my attention evenly! Here is a sneak peak of the next updates new blocks! If you have thoughts, opinions, questions, etc, feel free to join the discord and talk about them!

Thank you!

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.3

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of stuff this month. As I said in the discord, I got covid again but I am over it for the most part outside of the headaches.

In this patch update, the following was fixed:
-Sky texture seam (2 skies had it, it has been resolved)
-The Northern Lights now appear as they should (were not showing as another sky was overwritting the files)

Enjoy!

How I will be approaching new skies going forward

Hello! I just wanted to release a quick update regarding the way I am looking to approach new sky textures and the pack going forward.

I feel I have been getting better at this and some of the old textures are just not up to par with what I want from the pack, so I will be updating some of them to new textures. There are also quite a few biomes that share the same texture that could have more diversity, so I will be doing that as well. It makes sense to share a sky with some, like biom...

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.2

Hey guys, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Just finished this up yesterday. The weather based skies have been replaced with the new one I teased earlier this month. It is much more dramatic and will make things feel a lot better as a whole! Enjoy!

Cloud Preview (Weather)

Wanted to post this here too for those who are not on the Discord server. This is a preview of the new style of clouds I think I will be using for the weather (Storms and snow). I think they are much more dramatic and do a better job than what I have right now.

I also decided I will be doing previews and such on here more often. The more posts the better right? haha

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9.1

Here is the latest version of Dramatic Skys, honestly the same as 1.9 with bug fixes (Loading issues)

Enjoy!

Dramatic Skys Beta 1.9

New Skies:

-36

Skies in:
-Rain

This has been wanted for a LONG time and I just kinda figured it out more recently. I hope you enjoy this change as it will give more depth to the pack as a whole! If you have any questions or need anything please let me...

Default HD Legacy

This is the update quite a few of you have been asking for. Well, it's more of a retro release rather than a new update haha.
