Custom Skies/Cubemaps is a Bedrock custom skies addon by Mod_MC. It is a texture pack that swaps the vanilla sky for cubemaps made from real 3D HDRI images, and it ships as a .mcpack file. It runs on Bedrock and Pocket play alike.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.16 to 26.30.
What it adds
Each cubemap targets a different environment, weather condition or style. The skies are meant to look seamless and sharp, and the pack names snowy weather, stormy weather and a nebula galaxy among them.
- Dynamic Sky is the default. It only adds realistic clouds, so it blends with the day and night cycle.
- Around ten skies in total, from snow and storms to a nebula galaxy.
- Works with Vibrant Visuals.
- Stacks with other texture packs, except packs that also set a custom sky.

Why should I turn off Render Clouds?

Can I feature Custom Skies/Cubemaps in a video?
