A sky box is a block added in 25w14craftmine.

Obtaining

The sky box item can be found in one of the rooms unlocked with a shimmering key, known as the boiler room.

Usage

A sky box is used to set the look of the sky in the current dimension. You can use it in a dimension control block, which will change the skybox of the world you're currently in. Seven different skyboxes can be accessed by opening a shimmering door with the boiler room key (accessible with /give @s minecraft:shimmering_key[minecraft:instant_room={"structure": boiler}]) which will give you the skyboxes with following skies:

  1. "Hub (Classic)" which is a pure bedrock sky, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={repeats: 16, size:400.0f, texture: "minecraft:block/bedrock", name: {translate: "sky.classic_hub"}, type: "cube"}]
  2. "Overworld" which is a normal sky, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={type: "overworld"}]
  3. "Missing" which is a sky with the missing texture, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={repeats: 16, size: 400.0f, texture: "minecraft:missing", name: {translate: "sky.missing"}, type: "cube"}]
  4. "The End" which is the End sky, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={type: "end"}]
  5. "Smol" which is a sky with a screenshot from inside a mine entrance, which also shakes a lot when you walk around, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={type: "panorama"}]
  6. "Bad Idea" which is the entirety of blocks.png-atlas, can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={repeats: 1, size: 400.0f, texture: "minecraft:atlas/blocks", name: {translate: "sky.atlas"}, type: "cube"}]
  7. "True Sky" which is a sky with the tiled texture of the block "Sky", can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={repeats: 8, size:400.0f, texture: "minecraft:block/sky", name: {translate: "sky.actual_sky"}, type: "cube"}]
  8. There also exists an 8th sky, which you can take out in the overworld dimension, called "Dev Mode", can be given with: /give @s minecraft:sky_box[minecraft:sky={type: "code"}]
