About this project
What does More Cloud Layers add?

FEATURES
| Fully Vanilla-Consistent Rendering | Respects your Fast/Fancy graphics setting, time of day, and weather automatically, since it reuses vanilla's own cloud-building logic |
| Smart Refresh Timing | Layer values only recalculate on three natural moments (joining a world, portal traveling, or after sleep) |
| Staggered Layers | Each layer's cloud pattern is offset from the one below it, so stacked layers never repeat the same shapes |
CONFIGURATION
If you have Mod Menu installed, you can customize your experience:
| Number of Layers | Extra layers above the vanilla layer |
| Layer Gap | Distance between each layer |
| Random Layer Positions | Places each layer in a random slot instead of stacking them in order, leaving gaps between them |
| Speed Mode | How each layer's speed is set compared to the vanilla layer |
| Size Mode | How each layer's size is set compared to the vanilla layer |
| Random Transparency | Each layer gets a random opacity |
| Hide Vanilla Clouds | Hides the vanilla cloud layer while your extra layers keep rendering |
| Layer 1 Takes Over Vanilla | Moves the first extra layer down to the hidden vanilla layer's height |
| Thickness Mode | How thick each extra layer is |
| Bumps | Raises parts of each extra layer for lumpy, cumulus-style clouds |
| Layer Culling | Randomly removes part of each layer's clouds to thin things out at high layer counts |
REQUIREMENTS
| Minecraft Version | Fabric Loader | Configuration Library | Fabric API | Mod Menu |
