Questions about Hyper Realistic Sky.
4 questions
How many skies does Hyper Realistic Sky include?
The pack includes 18 skyboxes. They cover clouds in several sizes, rainy skies, sandstorms, auroras, tornadoes and rare cloud types such as asperitas and mammatus. You choose between them via the subpack system.
Does Hyper Realistic Sky work on Java?
No. This page covers the Bedrock port, and add-ons and Bedrock packs are Bedrock Edition only, so Java cannot load them. The creator also has a main Hyper Realistic Sky project, which the Bedrock listing links to.
How do I switch between the different skies?
The pack offers its 18 skies through Bedrock's subpack system, so that is where you choose between them. Before that, import the .mcpack or .mcaddon file by opening it with Bedrock, then switch the pack on in the world's settings under Resource Packs.
Is Hyper Realistic Sky free?
Yes. The creator describes the pack as completely free and only offers an optional donation link. CurseForge lists no licence, so check the project page for any terms before reusing the files elsewhere.
