Description from the author on Modrinth

I've personally always found clouds in Minecraft to be incredibly boring and non-whimsical, so I tried to fix that! Introducing: Fluffy Fancy Clouds.

This resource pack aims to improve the visual fidelity of minecraft clouds through vanilla core shaders. It uses a simple gradient and blurring technique to hopefully achieve much softer, denser, and of course fluffier looking clouds.

Requires Fancy Clouds to be enabled!

(Optional) Enable Improved Transparency for full effect.

This pack will likely be incompatible with Iris Shaderpacks, as well as any resource packs that alter vanilla clouds or transparency.fsh.

Modified Files

rendertype_clouds.vsh

rendertype_clouds.fsh

transparency.fsh

Added Files

cloudblur.fsh

I'm currently trying to work on downporting this pack for older versions as well, so be on the lookout if you're still in the past! :)

If you experience any issues in 26.2, make sure you're still using OpenGL rendering! (I swear I'll learn vulkan at some point)

How to install Fluffy Fancy Clouds

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Fluffy Fancy Clouds in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
