Moon features
Realistic 3D surface
The benefit of using 3D rendering software, is that the geometry of the surface of the Moon is clearly visible due to the lighting. I've not yet seen any pack doing this.
Blood Moon
Blood moon will happen weekly at night. This feature only works with fabric currently.
Blue Moon
Blue moon will happen once every Blue moon. This feature only works with fabric currently.
Sky features
Biome dependant skies
Unique clouds for snowy biomes, warm biomes (badlands, savanna and mangrove), and for deserts for all 4 stages of the day.

Rain and Thunder clouds
Unique clouds for rain and thunderstorms, for all 4 stages of the day.

Lightning strikes
These will appear throughout the night when there is a thunderstorm.

High altitude clouds
These will give you an "at the edge of space" experience if you go above Y=256. I recommend a render distance of about 8-10 for the best effect.

Supercell
You'll see these in the distance in hot biomes from morning to early afternoon. Low and high altitude variants:
Rainbow
These will appear after a weather event (rain or thunder). This feature only works with Fabric currently.
Asperitas clouds
These will happen every other day during the afternoon. Low and high altitude variants:
Sandstorms
These will appear during thunderstorms in deserts, savannas, mesas and mangrove biomes. Low and high altitude variants:
Tornado
You'll see this periodically sweep through the sky during the afternoon.

Total Solar Eclipse
These will happen every 5 days. This feature only works with Fabric currently.
Gas giants
Jupiter and Saturn will orbit the sky.
Auroras
These will appear at night in cold biomes at new Moon.

Northern Star
As in real life, the night sky will appear to be rotating around the Northern Star.

Black hole
Light pollution
The stars visible in the Milky way will become dimmer as the Moon gets more and more full to imitate light pollution

Outer Space
If you stand at the top of the world, it'll be like being in outer space. I recommend a render distance of about 8-10 for the best effect.

Hurricane
These will happen during thunderstorms and will be visible if you stand at max build height.
Custom End sky
Latent features
Vanilla support
A separate version is available for download that does not require any mods to work, but it's limited to a day and night sky only.
Works for Minecraft versions 1.17 and above. Be sure to enable Fabulous! graphics, otherwise the pack won't work.

Mod support
Biomes O' Plenty and Terralith are supported by this pack, meaning the custom skies will work in those modded biomes as well.
Shader support
Please read the text file in the pack for instructions regarding shaders.

Seamless fog
The point where the skybox meets the terrain is often a point where the illusion breaks with custom sky packs. This pack solves this, leaving no jarring lines on unloaded chunk boarders:
Irregular cloud rotation
This one is a really easy feature to implement, but it's super effective. Clouds will "always" be at a different orientation on the same time of the day.

3D atmospheric falloff
Another advantage of using 3D software, is being able to add volumetric falloff to the cloudscape.

Proper cloud layering
Using alpha blending, it is possible to create proper layers in the skybox.
For example: at night, clouds will properly block out the stars, and won't show through them.
The glow from the Moon (and Sun) will be behind the clouds:
In Optifine unfortunately, it's impossible to block out the Sun/Moon with sky layers, so they will show through the clouds (this is not an issue with Fabric).

Counter-rotating stars
This I think really gives a "celestial" feel to the night sky, seeing the Moon rotate freely from the star background.
