So, with this update, I have finally implemented every single feature that I have planned for this pack. This means, that as of version 3.1, the pack is complete.
Going forward, the pack will likely not get any more content updates.
The only case where it still might get new stuff, is if the mods needed for the pack get new features themselves. (I do have a sort of "bucket list" for the pack, and have made the feature requests for the mods)
So, after 5 years, this project is finally finished. Thanks to everyone who used- and will continue to use this pack!
This is a light-weight version of the pack, that doesn't have any of the fancy stuff from the main pack, just one single set of skies and rain clouds. Also 1-1 skies for the Nether and End are included.
