Clouds Pack - Relaunched for Minecraft

Review Clouds Pack - Relaunched

Clouds Pack - Relaunched is a resource pack updating the Minecraft sky. The author emphasizes realism while trying to adhere to the base style. There is some focus on realism compared to the default textures, but the updated look still blends well with the standard game. The game requires OptiFine; otherwise, the resource pack will not work correctly. Another great advantage is its availability on a large number of versions, both fairly old and the most recent.

What Changed?

For the player, day and night – the times of day familiar in the Overworld – have changed. During the day, we have a cloudy sky with a slightly blurred sun, whose edges are softened by emitted light. We recommend disabling the default clouds while playing because they overlap the updated background, which does not blend well. The sky has no seams or joins, making it look whole, which is a big plus.

At night, the player sees a completely different picture. The relaxed, clear daytime sky gives way to night. At night, we finally see that celestial objects are rendered in 3D. They reflect light well, keeping the night quite bright. The stars vary in size, and clouds remain, appearing more like dark masses. Although this style differs from the simple default, it still does not feel alien to Minecraft.

Nuances and Conclusion

There are a few caveats that players should know before starting. The resource pack does not affect the End dimension because it is fundamentally different from the Overworld sky and represents a single static state. Also, all updated textures disappear during precipitation (rain or snow). These are minor drawbacks, but for most of the game, you will see the updated sky, which looks significantly better than the default. If you wanted to refresh the game sky without straying far from the original, Clouds Pack - Relaunched will likely appeal to you. Thank you for your attention!
