Commands To Change Sky Color

under review

Add new Minecraft Commands to change the color of the sky in the biome,
when you are in a certain biome.

/skycolor <color>
/skycolor <color> [biome name]

/skyrandom
randomly changes sky color


/skyseed <389457398457>
uses a long seed value to come up with a color for the sky.


/skyhex <#3c2c4a>
would change the sky color with hex.

/skyrbg [red] [blue] [green]
would change the sky color with red, blue, green.

/getsky
these would get the current sky color of the player or entity

Update: When you review this idea there should be a way to test for sky color with commands this way you can have commands that are triggered when you enter certain biomes with a certain custom colored sky.

    To define a custom biome may be better.

    Would this change what the colour looked like for all players whenever they were in any area of that biome? I feel that would be much easier done with a resourspack? Possibly, adding to the other comment about being able to define biome properies, if you could pre-define different ones as a json file, and remap what inworld biome id matched what biome propery file, on the go with commands, then that would be a much more powerfull and generalisable feature, where you could make the precise thing op asked for, just changing the colour of the sky, but also other things, like implementing seasons using funktions, or incrementing difficoulty levels for ctm maps, and so on.

    Also, then, testing for sky colour would be the same as testing for what biome a player or entity was on? Testing for biome would be vary usefull feature.

    I wanted this to be done with resource pack as well that is why I made a separate feedback post for sky color in resource packs.

    I like the idea it would be very useful for map makers (like myself) you could turn the sky grey in a post apocalyptic scene you could turn the sky pink for a nice scenery, but I think there should also be a /skycolor reset command just in case you make a mistake or something

    This could not be possible as the sky colout is part of the in-game archives
    So it can be change with texture packs but not with commands

    We need to be able to set sky colour on a per-dimension basis as well as per-biome, including custom dimensions if we ever get them.

    I am currently trying to make a blood moon event where zombies spawn in my world and this would be super helpful to make the sky red

    sky colour is built into the biome files. This would be impossible to achieve without changing that, and if mojang where to change that it would take away capabilities from custom biomes, which isnt a good idea.

    This Is Already Exists(sort of)

    On Bedrock : /fog

    On Java : Some Sort Of Biome Modification In Datapack.

    /fog has the same effect of changing sky colour

    There is a way you can currently set the sky color in a kind of limited fashion. I think it is the /fog command

    I feel like this should be an addon modifier only.
