About this project
What does Subtle Skybox add?

Subtle Skybox improves on Minecraft's nighttime sky by changing star rendering and changing the background color of the sky.
The mod changes the minimum size of stars, as well as the size variation. Stars can become much smaller, and the smallest stars twinkle as they move across the sky. It also changes the nighttime sky color from black to a deep purple.
