About

Custom skybox, rift and GeoModel on Rift with animations

CustomSkyboxes

Fully customize the Minecraft sky in real time using textures, animated GIFs and GeckoLib models from a resource pack. Replace the sky, sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain and snow individually, globally or per biome, in the Overworld, the Nether and the End — tear the sky open with animated rifts, hang 3D models in it, and play entrance, exit and live effects on all of it.

Client-side mod. No server installation needed — but if the mod (or the Paper plugin) is on the server too, you can drive everyone's sky with @a.

<type>: sky · day_sky · night_sky · stars · sun · moon · custom · clouds · rain · snow · rift

Every argument is written as name=value, all of them are optional and the order does not matter. Tab completion offers the names each type accepts and their values, and stops offering one once you have used it.

/customskyboxes set sun vanilla scale=2.5 posX=EAST layer=2 anim_in=zoom_in anim_in_time=60

Argument	Types	What it does
`opacity`	all	0 to 1
`fadein` / `fadeout`	all	fade time in ticks (0 = instant)
`gif_speed`	textures	GIF playback speed
`speed`	`rain`, `snow`, `clouds`	0 to 1 on rain and snow, where 0 stops the fall
`scale`	`sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `stars`	size multiplier
`rotation`	domes, `sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `rift`	turns the dome image, or rolls the sun, moon, custom layer or rift
`layer`	`sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `rift`	1 to 8: several at once, each with its own arguments
`posX` / `posY`	`sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `rift`	where it sits: a compass name (`EAST`, `SOUTH_WEST`…) or degrees
`direction` / `tilt`	`rain`, `snow`	which way the weather leans, and how much
`amount` / `daycycle`	`stars`	how many stars, and whether they only show at night
`skycolor`	`clouds`	tints the clouds with the time of day
`anim_in` / `anim_out`	domes, `sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `stars`, `rift`	entrance and exit animation
`anim_in_time` / `anim_out_time`	same	how long that animation lasts, in ticks
`animation_preset` / `animation_time`	`sun`, `moon`, `custom`	looping animation and its loop length
`model` / `model_texture`	`sun`, `moon`, `custom`, `rift`	a GeckoLib model, and its texture if it is not found by name
`rift_length` / `rift_rays`	`rift`	how thick its burning edges and cracks are, and how many rays run out of it (`0` for none)
`force_overcome`	domes	draws the dome over what you list, comma separated: `sun` `moon` `custom` `stars` `clouds` (or `all`)
`sky_modifiers`	domes	meteors, comets, shooting stars and more on top of the dome, comma separated (see below)
`modifier_color` / `modifier_amount` / `modifier_speed`	domes	their colour, how many (0.1 to 5) and how fast (0 to 10)

vanilla as the texture keeps the vanilla one and only applies the arguments, which is handy for giving rain a direction or the sun a second layer without replacing anything.

Your skyboxes are saved automatically and restored when you restart the game.

Rifts

Tear the sky open. A rift has a glowing, crackling edge, and through it you see another sky (background=).

37 shapes: the tears crack slash tear eye gate, and closed shapes circle oval square diamond triangle pentagon hexagon octagon star star6 star8 star4 star12 sparkle burst sun flower clover heart cross gear drop egg blob crescent infinity squircle keyhole hourglass arch claw shatter.
26 colours by name (CRIMSON, GOLD, TEAL, VIOLET…) or any #rrggbb.
Up to 8 rifts at once with layer=, anywhere in the sky with posX / posY (straight up by default), radius up to 100.
14 entrance animations: rift_open rift_unzip rift_burst rift_slash rift_flicker rift_shatter rift_vortex rift_lightning rift_awaken rift_bloom rift_supernova rift_glitch rift_ignite rift_portal
14 exit animations: rift_close rift_zip rift_collapse rift_seal rift_snuff rift_unshatter rift_implode rift_strike rift_slumber rift_wither rift_blackhole rift_glitch_out rift_burnout rift_portal_close
rift_length makes the burning edge and the cracks thicker or thinner (0.1 to 6), and rift_rays sets how many rays run out of it and how far (0 to 4, 0 takes them off).

/customskyboxes set rift vanilla type=star color=CYAN radius=30 posX=SOUTH posY=MIDDLE background=void.png anim_in=rift_supernova
/customskyboxes set rift vanilla type=circle color=GOLD rift_length=2.5 rift_rays=3

Live rift effects play on a rift that is already open, without closing it: explosion shatter shockwave lightning pulse vortex tremor flare collapse supernova heartbeat riptide strobe siphon rupture warp eclipse cascade

Argument	What it does
`color`	tints the rift while the effect plays
`size`	how far its rings, bolts and shards reach
`strength` / `loop` / `layer`	how hard it hits, keep it going, which rift
`delay`	ticks before it starts
`spin`	degrees the rift turns over the effect
`shake` / `glow` / `flash`	how much it shakes, flares and flashes

/customskyboxes animate rift explosion color=RED size=2 spin=180 glow=3
/customskyboxes animate rift lightning 80 color=GOLD flash=2 delay=20

GeckoLib Models

Any model made in Blockbench with the GeckoLib plugin (.geo.json + .animation.json) can take the place of the sun, the moon, a custom layer or sit inside a rift — with its animations. GeckoLib itself is not needed: the mod reads the files and draws them on its own, on every version and loader.

/customskyboxes model set sun planet scale=1.5 posX=EAST posY=HIGH
/customskyboxes model set custom station posX=NORTH posY=60 layer=2
/customskyboxes model animate sun attack
/customskyboxes model animate rift roar layer=2

An animation called idle plays on its own; a play-once animation goes back to idle when it ends, hold_on_last_frame holds.
Keyframes, catmullrom, GeckoLib easings (easeInOutSine, easeOutBack, easeOutBounce…) and Molang values (math.sin(query.anim_time * 90) * 10).
The texture is found by name in textures/geo/ (a name that starts like the model's counts too), or chosen with model_texture=.

Custom Layer

custom is a sun-like layer that stays where you put it instead of crossing the sky — a planet hanging over your spawn, a station, a sign. It takes a texture or a model, up to 8 layers.

/customskyboxes set custom ringed_planet.png posX=SOUTH posY=30 scale=2

Entrance and Exit Animations

Every one exists as _in and _out.

Movement: fade zoom spin drop ripple curtain smoke
Wipes: top_merge bottom_merge left_wipe right_wipe diagonal diagonal_reverse blinds iris iris_close spiral vortex
Noise, the sky is eaten instead of faded: dissolve consume_top consume_bottom shatter
Stars only: random_scale star_fall twinkle
Sun, moon and custom: the plain ones — fade zoom spin
Rifts: their own, listed above

/customskyboxes set sky galaxy.png anim_in=consume_top_in anim_in_time=80
/customskyboxes set sky galaxy.png anim_out=vortex_out anim_out_time=60

Live Effects

/customskyboxes animate fires an effect without changing what is set. The time in ticks is optional.

Target	Presets
`sky`, `day_sky`, `night_sky`	`pulse` `shockwave` `black_hole` `glitch` `aurora` `flash` `ripple` `vortex` `rotation` `nova` `static` `heartbeat`
`sun`, `moon`, `custom`	`circle` `shake` `glitch` `scale` `float` `spin` `pulse` `swing` `orbit` `bounce` `wobble` `flicker`
`rift`	`explosion` `shatter` `shockwave` `lightning` `pulse` `vortex` `tremor` `flare` `collapse` `supernova` `heartbeat` `riptide` `strobe` `siphon` `rupture` `warp` `eclipse` `cascade`

color, strength and size shape the effect; scale (0 to 100) is what the sun or moon grows to with the scale preset.
loop=true keeps it playing until you stop it.
Several effects run at once and are mixed together.
animate stop ends all of them, animate stop <preset> only that one, and animate <type> stop everything on that one type.
An animation with loop=true is part of the sky from then on: a server keeps it and starts it again when the player joins.
biome animate scopes an effect to one biome.

/customskyboxes animate sky pulse color=CYAN size=3 strength=2
/customskyboxes animate sun scale 60 scale=8 loop=true
/customskyboxes biome animate minecraft:desert sky heartbeat 40 color=RED loop=true

Sky Domes

sky is always visible, day_sky fades in during the day and night_sky at night.
Works in the Nether and the End, including during the Ender Dragon fight.
Textures are mapped as a 360° panorama (2:1 images look best): the top of the image is the zenith and the middle is the horizon.
The left and right edges blend smoothly where they meet. Use rotation to move that spot.
The sun and the moon are drawn above the dome and the stars, so nothing covers them.
force_overcome turns that around for what you name: force_overcome=moon,custom draws the dome over the moon and the custom layers, so an entrance animation swallows them. Only what you list is covered — the clouds stay on top unless you add clouds — and anything you set after the dome (a new moon, a custom layer…) is drawn on top of it.


### Sky Modifiers

Add life to a dome with `sky_modifiers=`, any mix separated by commas (or `all`). They follow the dome they are on, so on a `night_sky` they only show at night.

| Modifier | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| `meteors` | a meteor shower, every streak flying out of the same spot |
| `shooting_stars` | now and then a single bright streak |
| `comet` | a big comet with a long tail slowly crossing the sky |
| `twinkle` | little stars sparkling on and off |
| | green and purple curtains waving over the horizon |
| `fireflies` | tiny glowing dots wandering low in the sky |
| `flashes` | silent lightning lighting up the clouds far away |
| `satellites` | small dots gliding across in straight lines |
| `rainbow` | a rainbow arc |
| `embers` | sparks floating up from the horizon |

`modifier_color` tints all of them, `modifier_amount` makes them more or fewer (0.1 to 5) and `modifier_speed` speeds them up or slows them down (0 to 10).

└── textures/geo    <- their textures: planet.png

folders

Supports .png and animated .gif files, in folders, in .zip packs and in the resource pack a server sends. Subfolders work too (sky/space/galaxy.png is space/galaxy.png).

ItemsAdder, Oraxen and other pack tools: textures can also go under your own namespace — assets/<namespace>/customskyboxes/<type>/ or assets/<namespace>/textures/customskyboxes/<type>/ — and show up in tab completion as <namespace>:file.png. Models work the same way with <namespace>:model.

After adding files, run /customskyboxes reload or press F3+T.

Multiplayer

The mod on the server (Fabric, NeoForge or Forge): the same /customskyboxes command gets @a and player names, only when the mod is on the server, with full tab completion:

/customskyboxes set @a night_sky galaxy.png
/customskyboxes model @a set custom planet posX=SOUTH
/customskyboxes biome @a set minecraft:desert sun big_red_sun.png scale=2

On Paper/Spigot (1.20.1+), use the CustomSkyboxesPlugin: it does the same with /customskyboxesplugin.

/customskyboxesplugin set     <@a|player> <type> <texture|color> [name=value ...]
/customskyboxesplugin clear   <@a|player> <type|all> [layer=N]
/customskyboxesplugin animate <@a|player> <type> <preset> [time] [name=value ...]
/customskyboxesplugin model set     <@a|player> <sun|moon|custom> <model> [name=value ...]
/customskyboxesplugin model animate <@a|player> <sun|moon|custom|rift> <animation|stop>
/customskyboxesplugin biome set     <@a|player> <biome> <type> <texture|color> [name=value ...]
/customskyboxesplugin reload  <@a|player>

Either way, what the server sets is saved: players who join later, or come back, get it as soon as they connect (@a for everyone, a name for one player). Players need the mod installed and the textures and models in their resource pack; players without it are skipped.

For Developers

org.cotii.customskyboxes.api.CustomSkyboxesAPI drives the mod from code, with the same name=value arguments the command takes:

CustomSkyboxesAPI.set(SkyboxType.SKY, Identifier.of("mymod", "sky/aurora.png"), "fadein=40 rotation=90");
CustomSkyboxesAPI.setVanilla(SkyboxType.SUN, "layer=2 posX=EAST posY=HIGH scale=0.6");
CustomSkyboxesAPI.setRift("type=star color=CYAN radius=30 background=void.png model=dragon");
CustomSkyboxesAPI.animateRift("explosion", 60, 1f, false, 0,
        new RiftEffects.Options(0xFF3030, 2f, 0, 180f, 1f, 3f, 1f));
CustomSkyboxesAPI.setModel(SkyboxType.CUSTOM, "planet", "posX=SOUTH posY=30");
CustomSkyboxesAPI.playModelAnimation(SkyboxType.CUSTOM, 1, "spin");
CustomSkyboxesAPI.clear(SkyboxType.SUN);

Also: setForBiome, clearLayer, clearAll, active, layers, availableTextures, animateDome, animateCelestial, stopAnimations, and lists of every effect, preset, animation, rift shape and model.

What's New in 1.0.4.2

New: sky_modifiers for sky, day_sky and night_sky — meteors shooting_stars comet twinkle fireflies flashes satellites rainbow embers, with modifier_color, modifier_amount and modifier_speed
New: rift_length (how thick a rift's edges and cracks are) and rift_rays (how many rays come out of it, or none)
Fixed: skies sent from the server printed their messages in every player's chat — now only whoever ran the command gets an answer
Fixed: a moon texture of your own always showed full and looked fake — it now follows the moon phases, and the sun and the moon are turned, sized and hidden by rain exactly like vanilla
Improved: the sky reuses its memory every frame instead of reserving it again, which is lighter on 1.21.5 and newer especially

What's New in 1.0.4

New: Rifts — tear the sky open: 37 shapes, 28 entrance and exit animations, 18 live effects with colour, size, spin, shake, glow and flash, up to 8 at once, and a model inside them
New: GeckoLib models for the sun, the moon, a custom layer and rifts, with their animations — no GeckoLib needed
New: custom — a sun-like layer that stays where you put it
New: @a and player targets on /customskyboxes when the mod is on the server, saved and sent to players when they join
New: Minecraft 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, with OpenGL and Vulkan
New: shader packs — skies and rifts show with Iris / Oculus, and the mod plays nicely with Sodium
New: ItemsAdder, Oraxen and server packs — textures under your own namespace (<namespace>:file.png), in subfolders and in .zip packs
Changed: force_overcome takes any comma separated mix (sun moon custom stars clouds), only covers what you name, and anything set after the dome stays on top
Changed: speed is now gif_speed for textures (speed stays for rain, snow and clouds; old saves are converted)
Changed: animate takes the time as optional and shows its arguments right away
Fixed: a black square around the vanilla moon with some renderers and shaders
Fixed: the vanilla sun and moon not showing on 1.21.11 and 26.2
Fixed: sun and moon textures drawn upside down
Improved: much lighter — the sky dome costs about a quarter of what it did, its effects (vortex, rotation…) and entrance animations about a third, and rifts are smoother and cheaper
Improved: clouds, rain and snow move every frame, so they stay smooth at high speed
Improved: less stutter on 1.20 – 1.21.4 with some graphics drivers
