About this Mod
Cloud Layers is a small mod that makes clouds render in multiple layers. The layer count, transparency, and spacing can be changed in the config. You can also make individual layers render in 2D.
I strongly recommend using the config to adjust the mod to your liking! The default settings are just for example purposes.
