Hyper Realistic Sky is the biggest, most versatile and feature rich sky pack you will ever find out there. The pack has 8 unique cloud sets that will change depending on the biome you're in. There are also unique skies for all types of weather, when you will usually see dense rain clouds, but when it's snowing, you will see fluffy white snow clouds, and when you're in a desert, you will see sandstorms. Each sky has a day, night, sunset and sunrise variant, as well as a low and high altitude variant, making it a total of 88 cloud variants!
On top of that, this pack also features a plethora of special events, such as Solar eclipses, shooting stars, lightning strikes, and even spinning tornadoes. There are many special rare cloud types featured in the pack as well, such as asperitas and mammatus clouds.
In addition, this pack also features several skies for the Nether and End dimensions, that will change depending on the biome you're in. Adding it all up, the pack features a total of 114 unique skyboxes!
As you can see, this a very large and ambitious project, and the best part is, it's all free! If you like what you see, and would like to support me, you can donate through PayPal. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
README
Pick the correct version
This pack does of course work with shaders, but since each shader works differently and has different settings, you will most likely need to tweak them to get a good look.
- Java vanilla: These versions are set to "alpha" release type.
- Bedrock: Download from the bedrock page.
- Java Modded: This is the main version of the pack, and is set to "release" type. Select a version and scroll down to see the required mod (Modrinth) or check the "Related Projects" tab (CurseForge). If more than one dependency is listed for a version, you only need one. When multiple mods are added as a dependency, that means that the pack will work with all of them, but only one of them is needed to get the pack working. Some mods are available on different versions and mod loaders, so I added support for as many as possible for the widest possible compatibility. Version compatibility is set to the pool of all the mods combined, so what you see is possible to run with at least one of the mods. Check the compatibility table below.
- OptiFine: This format is supported in the latest release version, and it's mainly intended to be used with Skyboxify, which may be available on some game versions that other mods aren't. This is a heavily compromised version of the pack, as many features are impossible to implement the same way as they have been for Nuit and Celestial.
Here is a list of features that are not included:
-rainbow, tornadoes, total solar eclipse, blood moon, blue moon, gas giants, black hole (both in the Overworld and the End), Andromeda, hurricane (outer space variant), seamless fog and the animated sunflare.
And these are features that work somewhat differently due to the format's limitations:
-Large lightning strikes will occur only 4 times per night, and will be animated much more slowly.
-Small lightning strikes will not be visible with Skyboxify, as these are animated sky elements, which Skyboxify doesn't support.
-The Northern star is positioned directly at the horizon, which makes it impossible to see, unless you're at Y>=320.
-Light pollution will only occur at full moon.
-The sun and moon are not properly integrated into the sky layers, which means they will be rendered in front of everything else. - Light version: There is a lightweight version of the pack available for download. These versions are set to "beta" release type. Please read their changelogs and check their dependencies. Again, if more than one dependency is listed for a version, you only need one of them.
- Currently the Nether skies do not work with Nuit.
- To check out the many features of the pack, I've provided a text file in the pack that has instructions.
- If you want to disable certain featues of the pack, get Respackopts and use the gizmo in the pack selection screen. Note that if you use Celestial 2.0, the in-game chat will show error messages, but you can ignore those. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions in the text file inside the pack. (this method will not cause error messages to appear)
- Celestial 2.0 requires core shaders to have smooth transitions between different sky layers, which is implemented as a pack overlay in the latest release. Since pack overlays only work from 1.20.2 and above, if you're playing on a version below that, you need to copy the "shaders" folder from "celestial/assets/minecraft/" to "assets/minecraft/".
This pack does of course work with shaders, but since each shader works differently and has different settings, you will most likely need to tweak them to get a good look.

A black hole will be visible during the night. This sky object is affected by light pollution, so during full Moon it will not be visible at all, and during new Moon it will be fully visible.
Andromeda
The Andromeda galaxy will be visible in the night sky. This sky object is affected by light pollution, so during full Moon it will not be visible at all, and during new Moon it will be fully visible.
Light pollution
Depending on the Moon phase, the Milky way and other celestial objects, such as the black hole, gas giants and the Andromeda galaxy will become less visible to imitate light pollution.

Nether high altitude
This sky will appear if you go near the build limit in the Nether.
Proper Sky layers
The clouds will properly block out the stars and other sky elements such as the Moon, gas giants, the black hole and the Andromeda galaxy, which gives a much greater sense of depth to the clouds, rather than being all transparent, like most other sky packs.
Seamless fog
Each sky has the proper fog color configured, to make sure the transition between the sky and the terrain is always as seamless as possible.
Biome mods support
As of version 2.4 and above, the pack now supports any and all biome mods, both Overworld and End biome mods.
Respackopts support
Vanilla support
A separate version is available for download for the vanilla game, that does not require any mods to work.
These versions are set to "Alpha" release type on Modrinth and Curseforge, so you can easily tell them apart from the main pack versions.
Thanks to Csala Bálint for providing the template pack.
