[1.15.2] Skybox for Custom Dimension

[Megaton_216_]

I made a dimension and I need help on adding a texture and skybox. Additionally, I would like help on adding celestial bodies like the the moon and sun

You can use setSkyRenderer() in your custom Dimension class to render a custom sky.

What do I need in that method?

Well, first you would create you own IRenderHandler, which would render the sky. To get an idea of how vanilla does it, you can look at the renderSky() method in the WorldRenderer class. Then you would use setSkyRenderer() in your Dimension class to set the renderer to your custom IRenderHandler.

Wait how does renderSky() help with creating my own IRenderHandler? I'm sorry I just don't get that.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking. My suggestion was that you look at the code in renderSky() to get an understanding of how vanilla Minecraft does the sky rendering. You can then use this newfound knowledge to implement your own custom sky rendering.
