Frequently asked questions

How do I activate the Black Mesa skyboxes after installing the resource pack?
Load the resource pack through your Resource Packs menu in-game, ensure it's positioned above any conflicting packs in your list, and restart your world or reload chunks to see the new skies take effect.
Why does my skybox look washed out or too bright?
Check your brightness/gamma settings in Video Options—Black Mesa skyboxes are designed with specific lighting in mind, and high gamma can flatten the atmospheric details; also verify no other skybox packs are conflicting above this one in your resource pack order.
Can I use this pack with shader mods?
Yes, Black Mesa Skyboxes works with most shader mods, though the visual result depends on how your shader processes panoramic textures; some shaders may alter colors or contrast, so test and adjust shader settings if the skybox appearance changes.
Do the skyboxes change based on weather or time of day?
The Overworld skybox includes day and evening variants that transition naturally with Minecraft's day-night cycle, while the End skybox remains consistent; rain and storms use Minecraft's default weather overlay over the panorama.
