I'm glad to see some people happy about this. I could never, ever, find a mod on the lines of this. Maybe Matmos, or maybe Better Animations, but not adding what I'm planning. Beta testing sure, but I'm afraid this isn't in Beta, or in Alpha. I'm trying to break into the weather code and correspond it with clouds. I guess I should start with easier tasks, and release something. Maybe some warmer Lightmaps, or different cloud types. The double cloud layer is still buggy. I'm mainly trying to make it right now that Textures correspond to weather. So when it rains, it overcasts. You know.
I need to do some "Indiana Jones" into the coding for what makes up the night sky and the stars. I haven't seen any texture packs changing the stars or the empty space, so I'm assuming it's a coding thing. I can't promise it, but I can surly try. To be honest, I'm not sure it's been ever done :0.
Well it was a file in Misa's texture pack... And she/he has a lot of coding along with the texture pack. Jeb just recently changed the night sky, so Im sure it wont be that hard.
Also Im not sure if this could be what you call 'realism' but you could probably make the sun slow down a bit? So longer days/nights?
Like instead of 20 minutes for 24 hours, it could be 40 minutes for 24 hours or something. And sunsets wont be 5 seconds long and you have to run to your home from all the mobs so fast. And have it customizable on/of, you know what I mean?
Edit: Oh and, not sure if its just me but when I click on UnknownOne23 on the front page it takes me to moohugger08 xD

Sounds great I like the direction your going with how you want the sky to look. but by far my favorite ideas so far are focal lens blur, blowing leaves, and biome torches. I also thought I would mention an idea I had. What if water had waves ( not big though they would just be ripples in the water that go the direction of the blowing leaves and maybe it could ripple when you jump in it) I think it would be cool and its only a suggestion i would have nothing against you if you didn't put it in the mod. But once again I happy to see this going well and good luck.
Okay... So I have a little problem... SAT testies.... So It's hard to work on both. However I can explain my progress.
I'm quite certain I've made my self clear that this mod is completely client based. So it works in multiplayer. So that means longer days/nights will never be added... This is completely vanilla remember?
Also... Stars may have to wait as it is quite hard. I went and messed with some of the code in the star textures... and I removed the night sky plus the moon and sun glitched on top of each other.
Anyways.... I have started working on different cloud types... and also working on biome stuffs... So the release will be out somewhat soon I guess.

I have an idea, when your swimming and when you swim out of water there will be water effects like dripping and blur, mobs eyes glow and when a storm comes it will suddenly become dark and there will be water in your face (probably the same effects used when your swimming only less). You should add configurable options to change how intense the effects should look.
I know im asking for too muchbut this would really be cool
I'd like to ask if anyone likes what I'm doing so far. My main point was to have a mod that added small details that make Minecraft more realistic without breaking the game. This means that you can still have a Vannilla world without getting a mod that uses your diamonds. If you like this I'd like it! I'm going to post some new stuff up soon. Hopefully the new clouds. I'd also like if people could tell be suggestions for categories or other things I should add. I will like to have people run tests and other stuff too, but please. Get this mod noticed. I want to make a mod for a purpose too!
Note to Admins: Please PM this, will this be moved into 'Mods' when I have a download link to part of my mod, or will it remain here until it is 100% finished. See Those are just features that I plan on adding. So this topic will be moved to the 'mods' section once a download link is here?
A Snapshot shall be available quite Soon! I have been over going so many problems since I'm not just adding a new block, but changing how the game process in order to get you the great features. Remember the snapshot will only have things that I officially think are Stable and doesn't create a lot of lag. Some new Ideas have been added. However, I forgot my charger in a hotel, they are sending it to me, and in order to have a download link to the snapshot, I need my computer charger. Please bare with me, and add Ideas, you shall be credited for the ones I choose. [9/9/2012]
This is still a WIP or a 'Work in Progress". So don't flame, or complain the full version is not out! Currently the mod is about the sky. Sooner or later I will add more realism! Don't suggest if it adds new blocks/items or mobs. Only small aspects that don't change the game completely. [6/7/2012]
This mod, changes to make minecraft feel like 'Vannilla" or like nothing changed. This is mainly meant to make the game more realistic without adding new items or blocks. For example, it lets clouds have a better feature, special things to happen in biomes. Not to fret, nothing drastic is added, only small things that may allow you to have a little better experience with a more realistic game. The mod is customizable, so you can have certain things install or not. And all of this is client side. So you can use this on any server you go on!
I am not held responsible to any corrupt worlds, problems, or any liability problems. If a problem occurs to you, make sure to contact me and I'll see if I can fix it for you. This is made by alaskafish and I do not let you redistribute this mod without my permission. Do not change coding and call it your own. I do not own minecraft, Minecraft is owned by Mojang AB. This mod is used for private use only. Thank you for choosing Vannilla Realism.
This is a Picture of The two layer clouds! This is for the Different types of clouds.
This is the Desert Heat and Desert Blinding. Notice the sides are a little hazy. Is the heat too weird?
I'm trying to work on focal lens glares. Really hard. If you look into the sun you get something like this:
Red = Haven't started Yellow = Working on it Green = Finished Black = Ideas Blue = Paused In Coding Purple = In Snapshop Cyan = Missing Texture/Models. Fixing Grey = Dropped Ideas. Italic Neon Green = New Idea(s)
Clouds are not just one simple cloud type. Different types of clouds such as, Stratus (Long flat clouds), Cumulus (Short but puffy clouds), Cirrocumulus (Broken clouds), Cirrus (high, and stretched out clouds) , and Overcast like Cumulonimbus (Thunder like clouds) [Working on]
Colored Clouds! When it rains, clouds are grey. When there's a thunderstorm, clouds are black [Haven't Started]
Double layer clouds (For different types) [Finished]
Clouds cast a some what type of shadow. [Finished]
Clouds look nicer [Finished]
No clouds over deserts, and very little over tundras, [Finished][Working on] (Tundras)
Different rain sounds. [Finished]
Dynamic Clouds [Haven't Started]
Blowing Leaves [Working On]
Stars flicker (After the 1.3 update when stars are smaller) [Haven't Started]
Stars are different colors (very few. Some red, and some faint yellow) [Working on]
Moon gives a gloomier glow. [Finished]
Moon's light depending on what moon it is (New moon, full moon etc) [Haven't Started]
Shooting stars. [Haven't Started]
Heat Blinding, If your in the desert for too long, your vision gets disrupted (FYI, This idea was based nikooo26 "clean weather") [Paused]
Snow Blinding, Like heat blinding, but when your in a tundra for too long the screen gets really bright. (True fact in real life) [Haven't Started]
Rain texture changes for different types of rain (EG: heavier, lighter, drizzle, flake snow Etc) [Fixing]
Focal Lens blur [Paused]
Warmer Torches (Redish to yellow) [Working on]
Desert Warmth [Paused]
Lava Coloring [Haven't Started]
Biome Torches (Colors depend on what biome you are in) [Haven't Started]
Gloomier - Warmth Coloring [Haven't Started]
This is so far my plan. In fact, I've started working on this mod. Sorry for the color coding... You know.. sometimes your just too lazy. Anyway, this mod will be showing snipbits of it, and you may try it out for your self. Please post suggestions, but they better not add any items/blocks/mobs. If anything it may be death animations, but right now I'm going to focus on weather. Then I will focus on more realism. Don't flame. And I will update this mod regularly. Please feel free to follow this! This topic will be edited many time to improve looks and over all performance. If you wish to work with me, great. I'f your good with coding too, I'll like that!
Silly, no snapshot available yet! Follow to get the most features!
Snapshot will be available quite soon. However I forgot my charger at a hotel, and it's being sent over. So I can't really give it out. Will only have the 'Stable' parts of the mod.

i saw this mod and was blown away on how awesome it sounds and looks but i have a suggestion, how about when your in snow bioms every onece in a while a little puff of smoke will come out, like your breth when its cold out side. i know you're busy with all the other stuff in this mod but its just a sugetion you dont have to use it
I have wanted to beta test this for a long time now!
For now, just install Sonic Ether's shaders because it has most of the features as this. The only problem is you are probably one of those people who attempts to play minecraft on an old fashion white macbook and can't run shaders because of OSX and overall preformance retardation disablities. So, ya shaders are holding me off for now but for my youtube videos shaders is way too dark so I would prefer using this. Keep calm and mod on!
