Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.12, outdated):
magellan1k_1.0.2.zip
1-click install
note about 1.21:
i am aware of the issues with the new moon shader and custom moon textures, but i don't think it's something i can fix
the rest of the textures still work fine though
1.21.4: moon mostly looks okay now, but the phases still expect a square moon
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

i'll look into it
I'm experiencing the same thing as the person below me, but I'm using the 4k sky
hey ive tested the 2k skybox of 1.21 and seems like the only slight problem is that the moon has the texture of the mod but the shape of base game so it looks like a pixely circle with a high res texture
LordeCrowe i would actually love to see something like that myself
i don't know if it's even possible though, and if it is it'd be well beyond my capabilities
I have always wanted a binary star system in the sky. I cant believe someone actually decided to make one. What Id love is if you could force it to function from the server side. Thank you
Now if only we were the satellite to a planet with rings...
Gorgeous! I love the vibrancy it adds to the world. Thank you for making this! I'm using the 1k version and it works great on 1.20.12
Thanks again for this beautiful mod!

the 1k works now, thanks
i definitly prefer this sky texture over the fancy sky texture for sure
SoulReaperz i could have sworn i had set it to be client-side only, but apparently i had forgotten to do that for the 1k version
it should work now

the 1k (1024x1024)
when it went night, the sky was still the vanilla sky, didnt change at all for 4 nights in a row
was trying to use it on my multiplayer server to note, and since its client side it should have still worked, but it didnt
it worked before on 1.19.8, but its not working for me in 1.20.12
SoulReaperz it works fine for me, what issues are you having?
does not work on 1.20.12
fyi you cant access the website so no other sizes are aviable
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
cool
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.
i made a typo somewhere whoops, it should be fixed now thL33tn00b
thanks for letting me know
4K part 1,2,3 on your site says file not found
thank you for the kind words KedSped
It looks great been waiting for something like this
