	* '''Fast/Simple:''' Clouds are opaque instead of transparent. Their color comes from the top of the fancy clouds. Their smallest horizontal dimensions are 8×8 blocks wide. {{IN\|je}}, fast clouds are two-dimensional. Simple clouds {{in\|be}} are also opaque, but remain 3D (three-dimensional), and are not faded with the render distance in ''Bedrock Edition''.		* '''Fast/Simple:''' Clouds are opaque instead of transparent.

	* '''Fancy:''' Clouds are translucent, three-dimensional prisms, approximately four blocks tall and ~~12×12~~ blocks wide. The transparency can be affected by the [[Minecraft:daylight cycle]].		* '''Fancy:''' Clouds are translucent, three-dimensional prisms, approximately four blocks tall and 16×16 blocks wide. The transparency can be affected by the [[Minecraft:daylight cycle]].
	* ''Fabulous!'' graphics in ''Java Edition'' also affect clouds, being the same as Fancy, but also being visible through transparent blocks and [[Minecraft:water]]. In ''Bedrock Edition'', clouds are always visible through transparent blocks and water, even with Simple graphics.		* ''Fabulous!'' graphics in ''Java Edition'' also affect clouds, being the same as Fancy, but also being visible through transparent blocks and [[Minecraft:water]]. In ''Bedrock Edition'', clouds are always visible through transparent blocks and water, even with Simple graphics.
	*[[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]]{{Only\|be\|short=1}} adds more layers of lighting to clouds, making them lighter on the edges and darker in the middle. The clouds also create shadows and when a cloud blocks the sunlight, the environment darkens. Because clouds use {{w\|environment mapping}}, they are always reflected by water regardless of whether they are visible on the screen. Instead of using specific tints, clouds are dynamically tinted and illuminated by ambient and directional lighting, which has unique colors and strengths for certain [[Minecraft:biomes]] and they are constantly changing with the daylight cycle.		*[[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]]{{Only\|be\|short=1}} adds more layers of lighting to clouds, making them lighter on the edges and darker in the middle.
