Talk:Clouds

Cloud Talk Page
If needed, discuss the clouds here.

Perhaps Clouds ought to have their own page. They are vision-obscuring moving objects that float at a certain height (~110 from bottom?). I don't know enough about Clouds to make an assertion there. --meioziz 00:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I've taken a first crack at this. Please feel free to edit it and make it better.  Thanks.
 * Rearranged the screenshot a little - will probably upload a scaled (smaller) version at a later time.
 * Ugh. Keep forgetting to sign. Sorry about being a wiki newb.  --meioziz 18:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone else think it would be awesome to mine clouds? Alik 21:40, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Different opacity
In 1.3 I noticed that clouds now have two different levels of opcaity. Often a single cloud will show both. I don't know in which patch this feature has been added, the version history doesn't give any insight about it either. Bromazepam 08:59, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Are you using a texture pack? Texture packs can change clouds, including the opacity. (Clouds are just a giant texture, in fancy made 3D just like the tool you're holding.) —KPReid 10:20, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Hahaha, sorry, I'm such an idiot. I didn't realise it was possible to change their texture. Bromazepam 11:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Floating west?
why are people saying that clouds float west? unless the sun rises in the north and sets in the south, the clouds go north.√Onion=Shallot 02:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)


 * The sun rises in the North, according to the reference. Father  Toast  02:23, 19 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Notch himself said that the Sun rises in the North (and, therefore, that clouds float West) - http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/88155424880201728. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Now that the sun actually rises in the east and sets in the west in 1.9 pre4, the clouds are floating west. --DarkFlame588 17:47, 13 October 2011 (UTC)


 * In that case, can we get the page updated to no longer state that clouds always flow North? 82.20.29.211 00:08, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Cloud code
If Clouds are in the game they must be created ' are they spawnable or collectable?
 * I don't think so. The times I've been up there in creative mode, they acted like translucent but immaterial blocks moving past. --Mental Mouse 03:17, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Clouds are just a rendered texture (2D in Fast graphics settings, or 3D in Fancy); they don't interact with the Minecraft world in any way (they don't even cast shadows). There are mods that feature clouds that can be interacted with, but there's not even a hint of any such thing coming to vanilla in the future. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:40, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

I would like to see exact specs for them though... fooling around in C-mode, clouds appear to fit well within heights 128.5 to 132.5, but don't extend exactly to those limits. --Mental Mouse 15:53, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
