Super Fancy Clouds Refabricated Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
Super Fancy Clouds Refabricated activates automatically once installed—you'll see volumetric clouds replace the flat sky immediately. If clouds aren't appearing, check that you're in a dimension with cloud rendering enabled (use `/sfcr help` to see available commands).
Why are my clouds clipping through mountains?
The mod scans chunks to detect tall terrain and shift clouds around it, but this requires the chunk to be fully loaded. Make sure you're not moving too fast or the chunks haven't finished loading; clouds should dodge around peaks once the terrain data is available.
Can I make clouds thicker or thinner in specific biomes?
Yes—the mod detects your current biome and adjusts cloud density automatically (deserts get clear skies, forests get denser clouds). You can customize these settings per biome using the configuration options available through `/sfcr help`.
Do clouds look the same for everyone on my server?
When installed on a multiplayer server, cloud shapes sync across all players so everyone sees identical formations at the same time. This requires the mod to be installed server-side.
Why do clouds disappear at the horizon?
The mod is designed to keep clouds visible along horizon boundaries without clipping—if they're vanishing, your render distance may be too low or a conflicting mod is interfering. Try increasing render distance or checking for mod conflicts.
Can I have different cloud settings in the Nether or End?
Yes—you can configure separate cloud rules for different dimensions, allowing custom cloud behavior in the Nether, End, or any custom dimension.
Does this mod work with shaders?
Yes, the mod renders clouds alongside shader packs like BSL and Sildurs Enhanced Default. Cloud colors will respond to shader lighting during sunrise and sunset.
Why is my game lagging after installing this?
Volumetric clouds are performance-intensive; try lowering your render distance, disabling clouds in less-visited dimensions, or reducing cloud density settings. Check that your GPU drivers are up to date.
Will rain fall everywhere or only under clouds?
Rain only falls in areas directly beneath actual cloud cover, so you may see clear sky and rain simultaneously in different parts of your view.
What does the /sfcr help command show?
This command displays all available cloud settings and control commands, including options to adjust density, toggle dimensions, and customize cloud behavior.
