Everything Your World Was Missing

From dusk to deep ocean, SkyOcean overhauls every visual layer of Minecraft with stunning next-gen effects.

Bioluminescent Oceans

Deep waters glow with living light — plankton blooms, glowing coral reefs, and phosphorescent fish trails that pulse with otherworldly color.

Dynamic Auroras

Shimmer across polar skies with procedurally generated aurora borealis and australis — no two nights look the same, ever.

Cinematic Storm Systems

Watch towering cumulonimbus clouds build in real time, with lightning that illuminates the sea and fog banks that roll across the shore.

Volumetric Sunsets

Golden hour scatters through atmospheric haze — crepuscular rays, color-graded horizons, and god rays that pierce the ocean surface.

Lunar Tides & Moonrise

A full lunar cycle governs ocean tides. Watch moonlight ripple across the waves as celestial bodies trace their authentic paths.

Custom Sky Palettes

Choose from 30+ hand-crafted sky themes or build your own with the in-game palette editor — vaporwave, nordic, tropical, and more.

See It to Believe It

Every effect is built for performance — no frame rate sacrifices, just beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! SkyOcean is fully compatible with Iris Shaders and most popular shader packs including Complementary, BSL, and Sildur's. Some visual effects are enhanced when combined with shaders.
SkyOcean is engineered for minimal performance impact. Most players see less than a 5% FPS reduction. The mod includes a built-in performance mode that scales effects to your hardware automatically.
SkyOcean is built to play nice with nearly all Fabric mods. It's been tested with Sodium, Lithium, Create, Biomes O' Plenty, Oh The Biomes You'll Go, and hundreds of others. Check the compatibility wiki for any known edge cases.
No — SkyOcean uses Fabric and does not require or use OptiFine. In fact, we recommend using Sodium + Iris instead for better performance and full compatibility.
Absolutely. SkyOcean is available for personal and server use under its open-source license. Server-side installation allows all players to benefit from weather synchronization, even without the client-side mod installed.
