The End sky with Vibrant Visuals

The End sky is an inverted cube rendered in Minecraft:the End dimension.

Description

Template:Info needed section The End sky is rendered in any dimension which uses the dimension effect associated with the End. Much like the Minecraft:panorama, six texture planes are rendered in a cube surrounding the camera. The texture is repeated 16 times to an edge, for a total of 256 instances of the texture per face (1536 for the entire cube).

The texture file will always point to Template:Code, and cannot be customized on a per-dimension basis. In addition, the graphic will also be rendered much darker in-game; Template:In this is due to it being Minecraft:tinted a dark gray (Template:Color). Template:IN, the texture is slightly transparent which allows Minecraft:fog to be visible through it, and this is pure black in the End. However, the Minecraft:Night Vision effect brightens the fog and therefore causes it to render white.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, the End sky is colored dark purple around and below the horizon, and black at zenith. This color is rendered as atmospheric fog behind the transparent End sky texture. See here for details.

The End sky is unaffected by any fog, even the bright purple biome fog in Java Edition, and the dense Minecraft:lava fog.Template:Needs testing The End sky texture is not rendered with "Beautiful Skies" disabled.

The End flash is a Minecraft:weather-like event that occurs Template:In with Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals or any graphics mode Template:In.Template:Upcoming Flashes occur at random spots in the sky, at differing heights above the horizon, while a rumbling sound effect plays. There is a 30 second delay between flashes, and each flash lasts between 5 and 19 seconds, with some fading.

With Vibrant Visuals, End flashes are purple colored global directional light sources, which can produce purple illumination and reflections on objects and cast shadows in the opposite direction of the flash. Specifically, the light is colored Template:Color, and it's intensity is 3 lumen. During an End flash, dense and purple volumetric fog becomes visible.

On classic graphics, End flashes use a purple "flash" texture, and block Minecraft:lighting becomes purple tinted during the flash.Template:Only The texture is obstructed by ender dragon Minecraft:fog, leaving only the tinting and sound as tangible effects.

End flashes can be disabled in the accessibility Minecraft:settings. Furthermore, the flash's graphics are not visible with "Beautiful Skies" disabled, but this does not disable the sound effects.
