Changes the Aurora meshes and textures to look more vibrant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is just a simple replacer of the Aurora meshes & textures. I wanted the northern lights to be more vibrant and bright. I realize it may not be for everybody but there are other mods out there that change the textures and or meshes of the Auroras. Each Aurora has its own texture set. The textures are twice the vanilla size. I made this to my own liking. If you don't like it, move on and keep your opinion to yourself.
Any questions or problems, please contact me on Discord.
