Frequently asked questions

How do I start making a custom skybox with this mod?
Follow the 'Create Your First Custom Skybox' guide to set up your resource pack folder structure. The mod provides a template that creates all the necessary directories and example shader files you need to begin editing.
Where do I put my custom skybox files?
Place your shader files in the `assets/minecraft/shaders/` folder within your resource pack. The template automatically generates the correct subdirectories for sky shaders when you set up a new project.
Can I use this mod with other shader mods like Optifine or Iris?
No—SkyboxTemplate uses Minecraft's core shader system, which conflicts with other shader mods. You need to choose either this mod or Optifine/Iris, not both at the same time.
How do I change the sky color?
Edit the color values in your skybox shader file using the guide 'Modify Sky Colors and Gradients.' The template includes example code showing how to adjust RGB values and create smooth color transitions across the sky.
