About this project

What does Cosmos add?

Cosmos

This mod is all about enhancing the visuals of stars in a vanilla friendly, and highly configurable way.

Night sky with Cosmos and Better Clouds

Stars


Stars are now highly configurable: almost everything about them, including the texture, is customizable. The list of configurable features includes:

  • Texture
  • Count
  • Brightness multiplier
  • Size range
  • Twinkle frequency
  • List of colors
  • Color alpha range (opacity)
  • North star toggle*

*While the north star picks a northern star to replace, if the count is low enough to where there are no northern stars there is a possibility that no north star will appear even with the option turned on
