About this Mod

Formerly known as FabricSkyBoxes, Nuit is a powerful and flexible custom skybox engine for Minecraft.

It goes far beyond OptiFine’s skybox system, offering rich features like keyframe-based transitions, rotation, custom weather rendering, and full support for both Fabric and NeoForge.

Design immersive skies with dynamic day/night cycles, custom fog, sunrise/sunset glow, weather-aware rendering, and more, all backed by a robust JSON skybox format.

Nuit is currently in beta. Some features may evolve over time. Feedback is welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use OptiFine/MCPatcher skybox packs?
Nuit does not support those formats natively. Use Nuit Interop to load compatible OptiFine/MCPatcher custom sky resource packs through Nuit.

Is it modpack friendly?
Yes. Nuit is licensed under MIT and fully modpack-compatible.

What happened to FabricSkyBoxes?
FabricSkyBoxes has been rebranded to Nuit to reflect its expanded scope beyond Fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Nuit need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Nuit as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Nuit require?

Use a file for fabric, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Nuit is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
