Latest file for v1.19.8:
magellan1k_1.0.1.zip 1-click install


this is simply a texture mod mainly affecting the skies, featuring:

  • binary suns - there's two of them now, a big blue one and a small orange one
  • a volcanically active moon - if you look closely you might see the volcanoes, especially during a new moon
  • a new night sky - a view from within the Small Magellanic Cloud, with views of a nebula, the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Milky Way
  • a darker, bluer daytime sky
  • bluer, more vibrant water

this mod is available in three versions, with different night skybox texture resolutions
1k (1024x1024) available right here on this page
2k (2048x2048) available on my website due to its size
4k (4096x4096) available on my website due to its size
note: if you don't see the night sky textures (more likely on the 4k version, but could happen on the other two for all i know) you will need to increase the max size of your texture atlas in clientsettings.json

this mod also pairs well with Volumetric Shading ReUpdated, though it overrides my sky color changes

 

all textures except the sun (which i made myself by hand) were exported from SpaceEngine Pro

this mod should remain compatible with all future game versions, being nothing more than a simple texture replacement

if that's at all possible it's unfortunately beyond my abilities

Do the two suns move independantly? I think it would be cool to use the function of the moon to make extra moons/suns that all move on their own cycle.

if you don't see the new night sky try increasing the size of your texture atlas in VintagestoryData\clientsettings.json, i had to do that myself to get the 4k version to work Wandour

i dont see anything new at the sky besides the suns and moon

💬 DUCATISLO, Jun 4th at 4:50 PM

cool

💬 tobyferrianAuthor, Jun 2nd at 6:10 PM

the texture sizes are openly listed right here on the mod page and the total file sizes are listed wherever you're downloading them so i'm not sure why you had to inspect the mod to find that out
i will not be resizing or compressing them myself, and any use of this mod is done at your own risk, but feel free to modify it however you wish for your own personal use

it should be a client-side only mod though, and the fact that it's not is a mistake on my part that i will fix right now

This mod absolutely tanked the multiplayer server I'm in, and upon further inspection, the textures are VERY large. I'd reccomend compressing them a bit further as there's no need for the textures to be so large that they're making people crash from looking at the sky.

Very cool mod! Two suns, I give it two out of two stars.
