☁️ Oculus for Simple Clouds — Progress Update
🧠 Summary
- Clouds now react properly to sunrise and sunset 🌅
- Lighting is now handled directly in the cloud shaders (no more fake tint)
- Stable baseline restored after removing broken experiments
- Works even without shaderpacks
🔥 What’s Working
- 🌅 Sunrise / sunset coloring → YESSS
- 🧱 Alex’s Caves → YEEESSS
- ⚙️ Immersive Engineering → YEEESSS
🎨 Current State
- Transparent clouds → looking great ✅
- Distant clouds → already good, untouched ✅
- Opaque clouds → still a bit too gray (being improved)
❌ Not Working Yet
- 🌍 Distant Horizons → still broken 💀
🚧 In Progress
- Improve warm lighting on opaque clouds
- Keep natural variation (no flat colors)
- Match the look of transparent clouds
We’re VERY close now 👀
Just need that final touch of sunlight on the main cloud body.
Optional dependencies
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
