⚠️ Further development of the mod continues in the form of the Foggy Pale Garden resource pack based on Polytone.

A Minecraft mod that adds fog to the Pale Garden biome. But you can customize any kind of fog anywhere you like!

✨ Features

😱 Envelops the Pale Garden in fog

🕳️ The fog does not fill caves beneath the Pale Garden

🪽The fog doesn’t hinder flying over the Pale Garden

🎨 Fog presets feature allows you to choose from predefined options, create a custom preset, or have the fog adjust based on the game’s difficulty.

📦 Resource Pack Support

You can easily add a fog preset to your resource pack! Just place it at the path assets/foggypalegarden/preset.json. After that, you can select it as the active fog preset in the mod settings.

If multiple resource packs containing fog are installed, each of their presets will be available in the settings
If a preset's code from the config/foggypalegarden folder matches a code from a resource pack, the preset from the config folder will be renamed by adding _BACKUP to its code

🧗‍♀️ The conditions for fog formation will allow for creating different types of fog even in the same location

You can download this example on GitHub

🔧 Create different types of fog based on any set of conditions

For example, this preset will create pre-dawn fog during clear weather in all biomes.


{
  "code": "PRE_DAWN_FOG",
  "bindings": [
    {
      "condition": {
        "and": [
          { "timeIn": { "start": 22500, "end": 23800 } },
          { "weatherIn": ["CLEAR"] }
        ]
      },
      "startDistance": 0.0,
      "skyLightStartLevel": 4,
      "endDistance": 15.0,
      "surfaceHeightEnd": 15.0,
      "opacity": 50.0,
      "encapsulationSpeed": 16.0,
      "brightness": {

      "color": {
        "mode": "BY_GAME_FOG"
      }
    }
  ],
  "version": 2
}

To apply it, create a file PRE_DAWN_FOG.json with this content in the config/foggypalegarden folder and set the value "preset": "PRE_DAWN_FOG" in config/foggypalegarden.json.

💥 Compatibility with Other Mods

If you encounter compatibility issues between Foggy Pale Garden and other mods, please open an issue on GitHub or contact us on Discord.

Sodium, Embeddium and Rubidium

You need to disable the Performance - Use Fog Occlusion setting so that blocks behind the fog continue to render and do not appear suddenly when the player approaches.

🚀 Plans

❓ Maybe it will be possible to implement support for Iris Shaders?
