Confirm Clouds Are Enabled

Open Options > Video Settings and check that Clouds is not set to Off. If it's set to Off, clouds won't render at all, regardless of the resource pack. Set it to Fancy.

Check Render Distance and Performance

If clouds flicker, disappear, or render inconsistently, your render distance may be too high for your system. Try lowering Render Distance in Video Settings by 2–4 chunks and see if cloud rendering stabilizes. Very high render distances can cause visual glitches with cloud layers.

Verify No Conflicting Mods

Shader mods, especially Iris Shaderpacks, override vanilla cloud rendering and will cause this pack to fail. Remove or disable any shader mods from your mods folder. This pack uses only vanilla core shaders, so it's incompatible with external shader systems.

Restart and Reload

Close the game completely and relaunch it. Sometimes resource pack changes don't fully apply until a full restart. After restarting, load your world and check the sky again.
