Vibrant Visuals fog

[amber dust]

What is a more effect way to create a fog that works well in vibrant visuals? Currently any color from the fog is kind of lost for some reason, and the reduced view distance from it doesn't block out the sky. So on the overworld you get fog effects that make the ground very dark, and the sky absurdly bright. I don't know if there is a better way to achieve a vanilla look to it.

Same spot in VV vs Fancy graphics

[velvet zealot]

In VV there is a fog config for each biome and there is a default, either edit the default config or the specific biomes config

[amber dust]

Is this a file or somewhere in settings?

[velvet zealot]

This is a file

[amber dust]

Are you talking about the fog JSON and client_biome JSON? Because those are what I'm using

Unless this is a different directory for VV configs

[velvet zealot]

Are you making a VV pack, if so then there shoul be a folder named fog, under that folder there should be a json file named default.json or something like that. If you want to change the fog for all the biomes then edit the air values in that

[amber dust]

I don't need to change it for all biomes, I just don't want the sky to shine through the fog in this specific biome. Unless editing the default is what can achieve that

This is older now but if you still need an answer, here's your answer. In the fog file itself, you have access to options for volumetric fog, you'd want to bump the density up a little and then the absorption up a lot, now the sky won't be visible HOWEVER it will greatly impact the visibility of everything else too

[amber dust]

I see

[bleak warren]

And if you were talking the vanilla render distance fog, that's just bad in VV there's really no good way to improve it

I'd recommend just using the volumetric options in that case

[amber dust]

So i assume its just an object I can add to the json, the same way I add color?

[bleak warren]

Yea lemme get you an example

        }
      }
    }
  }
}

here is an example fog file with full VV support

I will note here

Volumetric fog works VERY differently to regular fog

It's usually only one color and takes up space in the whole world

But you get "godrays" with it so it's cool for that

[amber dust]

Thank u, I didnt know that VV had volumetric fog support

This helps a lot

[bleak warren]

Yea no problem

VV has a lot of very cool features

[robust plank]

Where do you acquire these

[bleak warren]

wym?

[robust plank]

The fog configs for every biome

[bleak warren]

tbh you just make one then you can just make duplicates of that to assign to whatever you want

you make an identifier then in client biomes, assign that identifier

[robust plank]

I have them but they don’t have media_coefficients and henyey_greenstein_g

But Alr

[bleak warren]

that file i posted is an example that i made

just copy paste it in

[robust plank]

👍

[robust plank]

just wanted to ask is every part necessary?

[bleak warren]

Recommended

[robust plank]

is it possible to make midnight dark it looks like day for me basically

[bleak warren]

What is your moonlight color settings

And also

Skylight intensity

[robust plank]

my moon is like a cyan color and the sky intesity if thats what youre saying is 0.2

[bleak warren]

Well no like

The number values for moonlight

[bleak warren]

Hm so that's not the issue

[robust plank]

oh no

[robust plank]

quirky how i can apply the fog to every biome it only applies to certain biomes

[bleak warren]

Set the fog identifier in every biome file to the identifier set in that

[robust plank]

from here

[robust plank]

nvm i got it
