🔷 What is Blue Skies?
Blue Skies adds two dimensions called the Everbright and the Everdawn. It includes lots of new unique features, blocks, weapons, mobs and even massive dungeons! Each dimension has its own theme, with the Everbright being very bright, snowy and cold while the Everdawn is typically darker and warm. Each of these dimensions currently has two dungeons to explore, totaling up to 4 dungeons, with more planned on the way!✔️ Getting Started
I want to play! How do I install Blue Skies? To get started, make sure that you have downloaded the latest version of the mod and you are running at least the recommended version of NeoForge to your Minecraft client. Alternatively, You can also easily install Blue Skies using the Modrinth App, if you don't have that installed already. Download it here: https://modrinth.com/app. Then, you can click here to view a guide on how to install Blue Skies with CurseForge launcher.🔑 The Gatekeeper
Find the Gatekeeper and trade a book in exchange for his journal. You can find the houses spawning in either plains, mountains, and most snowy biomes. The Gatekeeper has extensive knowledge on these dimensions and has written all about the blocks, mobs, and dungeons found within to help guide you on your journey. You can also trade for a Zeal Lighter that works on both the Everbright and Everdawn portal frames. Check around their home as they have an unlit portal frame somewhere. As you progress through the mod, other trades may become available, so it's worth checking his offers after reaching certain milestones.
🕳️ How to Enter the Dimensions
Once you have found the Gatekeeper, be sure to trade emeralds for the Zeal Lighter to be able to light one of the portal frames. He keeps an unlit Everbright or Everdawn portal stored somewhere in his home that you can use. Once you find the portal, tidy it up, give it a light, and it should open a door to its respective dimension.📘 Blue Journal
The Blue Journal, a book written by the Gatekeeper that's filled with information discovered from his experiences in these dimensions. The more you progress through Blue Skies, the more pages you will unlock in the journal. You only need to obtain the blue journal item once. Afterwards, you can always find access to it by opening your inventory and clicking the tab on the right with the blue journal icon.Highlights
