📋 About This Mod

## Introduction This is a Milky Way space skybox based on the FabricSkyboxes mod. The resource was converted from the Scientific Sky Simulator and currently only provides a night starfield sky effect. Skyboxes for sunrise or rainy weather are not included at this time. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/FeKYQvEa/images/59a1e346483d2ff570ab3adebd7daaca0cd29186.png) ## Dependencies Need **Nuit** (formerly FabricSkyboxes) : (https://modrinth.com/mod/nuit) --- ## Quick Start ### 1.1 Install Nuit ### 1.2 Download resource Download the latest resource, place it in the folder ``\resourcepacks\`` ## Advanced ### 2.1 Extract Extract ``\resourcepacks\Baiyu Milky Way Skybox.zip`` to ``\resourcepacks\Baiyu Milky Way Skybox\``. Open the folder ``\resourcepacks\Baiyu Milky Way Skybox\assets\nuit\sky\`` ,edit ``sky6_starfield.json``. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/FeKYQvEa/images/37fadff3e5f035dfb33c31ec447b1e4f860704db.png) ### 2.2 simplest, during the Winter Solstice In fact, I do not know whether this specifically refers to the Winter Solstice or January 1st. ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` latitude: your located latitude. Positive for North, negative for South (e.g., 22.54 for 22.54°N, -33.87 for 33.87°S). Leave the other two numbers (0.0) unchanged. #### 2.2.1 Example Shenzhen (approx. 22.54°N) Latitude = 22.54 mapping: axis: -90 + 22.54 = -67.46, so use ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` #### 2.2.1 Example Sydney (approx. 33.87°S) Latitude = -33.87 (remember the minus sign for South) mapping: axis: -90 + (-33.87) = -123.87, so use ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` ### 2.3 during the Summer Solstice This configuration sets the initial sky to the **Summer Solstice** (around June 21). The second number in `mapping` is fixed at `180.0` to represent the half‑year phase shift. ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` - `latitude`: your located latitude. Positive for North, negative for South. - Leave the other two numbers (`0.0`) unchanged. #### 2.3.1 Example Shenzhen (approx. 22.54°N) Latitude = 22.54 `mapping`: `axis`: -90 + 22.54 = -67.46, so use ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` #### 2.3.2 Example Sydney (approx. 33.87°S) Latitude = -33.87 (remember the minus sign for South) mapping: axis: -90 + (-33.87) = -123.87, so use ```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": } ``` ### 2.4 On any day of the year idk.I've been deriving it for several days, but I still don't know how to tackle it. The mapping is really strange; x, y, and z seem to be coupled.But the celestial sphere rotates a bit more each day—that is, it turns just over 360° daily, so you can wait for the in-game time to pass, and the celestial sphere will also change at the same fixed time each day accordingly.

### 2. 2 simplest, during the Winter Solstice

In fact, I do not know whether this specifically refers to the Winter Solstice or January 1st.

```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": [-90 + latitude, 0. 0, 0. 0] } ``` latitude: your located latitude. Positive for North, negative for South (e.g., 22. 54 for 22. 54°N, -33. 87 for 33. 87°S). Leave the other two numbers (0. 0) unchanged.

#### 2. 2. 1 Example Shenzhen (approx. 22. 54°N)

Latitude = 22. 54 mapping: axis: -90 + 22. 54 = -67. 46, so use [-67. 46, 0. 0, 0]

```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": [-67. 46, 0. 0, 0] } ``` #### 2. 2. 1 Example Sydney (approx. 33. 87°S)

Latitude = -33. 87 (remember the minus sign for South) mapping: [-33. 87, 0. 0, 0] axis: -90 + (-33. 87) = -123. 87, so use [-123. 87, 0. 0, 0]

```json "mapping": { "0": [-33. 87, 0. 0, 0] }, "axis": { "0": [-123. 87, 0. 0, 0] } ``` ### 2. 3 during the Summer Solstice

This configuration sets the initial sky to the Summer Solstice (around June 21). The second number in `mapping` is fixed at `180. 0` to represent the half‑year phase shift.

```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": [-90 + latitude, 0. 0, 0. 0] } ``` - `latitude`: your located latitude. Positive for North, negative for South. - Leave the other two numbers (`0. 0`) unchanged.

#### 2. 3. 1 Example Shenzhen (approx. 22. 54°N)

Latitude = 22. 54 `mapping`: `axis`: -90 + 22. 54 = -67. 46, so use [-67. 46, 0. 0, 0]

```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": [-67. 46, 0. 0, 0] } ```

#### 2. 3. 2 Example Sydney (approx. 33. 87°S)

Latitude = -33. 87 (remember the minus sign for South) mapping: axis: -90 + (-33. 87) = -123. 87, so use [-123. 87, 0. 0, 0]

```json "mapping": { "0": }, "axis": { "0": [-123. 87, 0. 0, 0] } ```

### 2. 4 On any day of the year idk. I've been deriving it for several days, but I still don't know how to tackle it. The mapping is really strange; x, y, and z seem to be coupled. But the celestial sphere rotates a bit more each day—that is, it turns just over 360° daily, so you can wait for the in-game time to pass, and the celestial sphere will also change at the same fixed time each day accordingly.
