About this Mod
GoG Sky
GoG Sky is a standalone port of the beautiful and dynamic skybox from the "Garden of Glass" mode in Vazkii's Botania mod.
This mod brings the breathtaking celestial visuals—including vibrant planets, auroras, and extra stars—to Fabric 1.21.8 without needing the full Botania mod installed.
✨ Features
- Enhanced Starfield: A multi-layered, rotating starfield that adds incredible depth to the night sky.
- Visible Planets: Six unique planets become visible as the sun sets, each with its own orbit and appearance.
- Celestial Auroras: Ethereal rays of light dance across the sky during the night.
- Rainbows: A rare and beautiful rainbow may appear in the sky.
- Enlarged Celestials: A larger, more impressive sun and moon.
- Standalone & Lightweight: No dependencies other than the Fabric API.
