[OF] Everlasting Night Minecraft Texture Pack

Unfortunately, OptiFine doesn't support daycycle-changable fog, so please disable fog for better experience: [⠀⠀Options...⠀⠀]⠀>>⠀[⠀⠀Video Settings...⠀⠀]⠀>>⠀[⠀⠀Details...⠀⠀]⠀>>⠀[⠀⠀Fog: OFF⠀⠀]


Looking for a dark custom sky for Minecraft Java Edition?
Tired of all these fancy-pants-ultra-4k-real skypacks?
Just want to simply have a nice-looking dark sky that fits vanilla style?

Then, Everlasting Night is a pack for you!

It changes the sky to look much darker during daytime, or even to look like the night never passes, without hiding Sun or Moon.
The stars are also there, slowly spinning full circle around the planet day after day. You may notice they became a little bigger, just like in older versions — and that's right, as both fast and slow layers were taken from real Beta 1.8 sky footage!

There are multiple skybox styles available:

[​B] Pitch Black
(new!)
Changes sky to be completely black all the time, with stars being slower and twice as prominent. Ideal for underground- or space-themed challenges, or minigames where the time is fixed.
Coming soon!
[​C] Classic
Represents classic Minecraft daylight cycle, with day sky colored dark-blue. Nothing special, but you'll like it if you want to get a style that looks as close to vanilla as possible.
[​U] Ultimate
Changed sky to a solid dark-gray colour, with stars being faster than in other packs. This style is deprecated, and will soon be replaced with Pitch Black style.
[​P] Plasma
Synthwave-ish skybox, inspired by how night vision potions worked before 1.12. This is a sort of experimental style, so it might not work for everyone.
Why downloads are stored this way? Not only I find this look more informative, but also PlanetMinecraft allows having only up to 3 download options, which is often not enough for how many variants resource pack may have. The downloads from this table are stored on CurseForge.

Compatibility note: Everlasting Night is fully compatible with packs that change sun/moon/clouds, but will conflict with ones that change skybox(-es) as well. DO NOT use it use with shaders, as in 90% of cases they will not work together!!

Can confirm once again, the pack DOES WORK on latest Minecraft version as long as you have Optifine compatibility mods installed. In fact, I do still play with this pack, along with French Fonts (which, surprisingly to me, does also work). If you don't have such mods installed, the pack obviously won't do anything.

What works:
1. All skyboxes (sky0, sky1...) render and transition correctly.
2. Baked-in Beta stars rotate full circle, and parallax effect between star layers is present.

What worths working on:
1. Perhaps prolong the current version up until 1.20.2, which (finally!!!) added a way to set pack formats as a range, and only add actual changes in a newer version. Although, if there won't be any breaking changes, it's prolly better to still use a single pack to cover all the versions.
2. Considering there is now a way to change the actual sky colours, hopefully it might finally fix the fog using default Minecraft colours (especially when it rains or snows -- I don't think back in a day there even was a way to do anything about this).
3. Plasma's day skybox is overly saturated to the extent of giving me eyesore (maybe I'm just getting old...), so make it dimmer and lighter.

Anyway, thank you for reading this :)

its like minecraft legends before the night beacon was activated, but the opposite. it was only day. Actually that would be a good pack.

Only day

But it seems to be working fine without any updates? The problem is, it uses Optifine CTM to change sky, and people don't really use it anymore... I'll look into other ways, like I heard now there is a way to override sky color for biomes, which might work.

This resource pack works surprisingly well. It functions as a sort of "dark mode", whch is good for playing at nighttime. I initially downloaded this just out of curiosity, but it might make it's way into my regular resource pack selection. The only way I could think of improving it is to have sky colours vary between biomes like how some other resource packs do (except sticking to the dark theme, of course). It would add some nice variation to liven the gameup, and save me from having to choose between Classic and Plasma :P

Using the classic version as a base, I replaced its day color image with the night texture image from the plasma version, replaced its trans1 image with the image of the same name from the plasma version, and used the sky0 and fog0 color images from the ultimate edition. Would you mind if I were to reupload my edited version without profiting from it, and link back to this original post?

This'll go really well with a night-themed server for insomniacs & owls, where the nights are twice as long. Bigger stars might be interesting, but I'm currently looking for a pack with muchmore (pixelated) stars versus the default amount, since it's logical that a world with minimal light pollution would have a sky more similar to the country than the suburbs.

The archive contains 2 folders in it for different MCJE versions. You need to open the one for your minecraft version and move the contents of it to the packs folder.
