About this project

What does Better Cloud Shadows add?

Better Cloud Shadows

fabric neoforge

Better Cloud Shadows is an extremely simple mod that casts subtle moving shadows beneath clouds.

Shadows fade out near sunrise and sunset, while it is raining, and with distance.

Heavily inspired by the (tragically unreleased) cloud mod by cappin.

High render distances or mods like Voxy/Distant Horizons are recommended! distant_horizons.png
