The End sky with Vibrant Visuals

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

Description

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 behind the transparent End sky texture.

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.

An End flash Template:In

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 Classic block Minecraft:lighting becomes purple tinted during the flash,Template:Only and a rumbling sound effect plays. There is a 30 second delay between flashes, and each flash lasts between 5 and 19 seconds. Flashes occur at random spots in the sky, at differing heights above the horizon. The flash still occurs even if the Minecraft:ender dragon is currently active and is obstructing the End sky with its fog; however in Java Edition the main flash effect won't be visible, leaving only the tinting and sound as tangible effects.

With Vibrant Visuals, the End flash is considered a global directional lighting source, which can produce purple tinted reflections on objects and cast shadows in the opposite direction of the flash. During an End flash, dense and purple volumetric fog becomes visible.

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.
