Moonbeam Skies

A data pack that gives the overworld a softer, dreamier sky.**

What it changes

• Days: a more vivid blue sky, with a soft lavender-pink tint toward the horizon
• Sunrises and sunsets: a warm glow that fades from orange through pink and magenta to purple
• Nights: a deep indigo sky with a violet glow near the horizon, purple-tinted clouds, and stars at full brightness

Compatibility

• Java Edition, Minecraft 26.1 and newer
• No mods needed. It uses the data-driven sky settings added in 26.x
• Only the overworld sky is changed. Gameplay isn't affected
• Because it only tints the sky, it should work alongside other data packs

Installation

1. Put the .zip (don't unzip it) in your world's datapacks folder, or add it when creating a new world.
2. Reopen the world. /reload isn't enough to apply it.
3. To preview, use /time set day, /time set night, /time set 0 for sunrise, or /time set 12000 for sunset.

What it doesn't do

Shooting stars, extra stars, a galaxy or nebula, and custom cloud shapes aren't part of vanilla's sky settings, so this pack doesn't add them. Those need a shader or a mod.

Coming later

Per-biome sky colors, such as a golden savanna and an icy blue tundra.
