Creating Your first Sky

When you create a new Sky project, it is important to understand the file structure that organizes your sky. Here the require field structure for a Sky Aesthetics resource pack:

Basic File

{
  "world": "minecraft:overworld",
  "id": "minecraft:default",
  "weather": true,
  "sky_objects": []
}

Let's break down each field:

• world: Specifies the dimension where this sky will be applied. Common values include minecraft:overworld, minecraft:the_nether, and minecraft:the_end.
• id: A unique identifier for your sky configuration. This helps differentiate between multiple sky setups.
• weather: A boolean value (true or false) that determines whether the rain and snow effects are displayed in this sky.
• sky_objects: An array that will contain all the sky objects (like moons, planets, etc.) you want to add to your sky. You can learn more about sky objects here.

This file should create a sky similar to the vanilla one. To actually change the sky, you need to add Settings to your sky configuration file.

Adding Sky Settings

To customize your sky, you can add settings to your file.

Here is an example of a sky configuration file with some settings:

{
  "world": "minecraft:overworld",
  "id": "minecraft:custom_sky",
  "weather": false,
  "sky_objects": [],
  "cloud_settings": {
    "cloud": true,
    "cloud_height": 300
  }
}

To add a setting, you need to add a new field named like the settings id to your sky configuration file. Then you will be able to config these settings.
