Description of feature request

I got really excited when I saw this mod, I always felt Minecraft skies lack "life" and a mod like this makes the world feels so much more alive! Simple Clouds reminded me of the beta 1.7.3 Better Weather mod (https://modrinth.com/mod/betterweather/gallery) one thing that I always found out to be stunning about Better Weather was the shape that each chunk of the clouds had, they're not blocky, but instead fluffy and for sole reason that looks so perfect in Minecraft! I was wondering if Simple Clouds could implement something similar?

That looks really cool, is that made with particles? I could probably do something similar by applying a texture that mimics the fluffiness to the clouds

Regarding your question if they are made with particles, Paulev (the creator of Better Weather) said the clouds he made are completely custom rendering:

"there are cloud chunks, and each chunk has static mesh similar to world chunks. They are rendered in the world in semi-same place as normal clouds (with additional conditions to prevent water sorting order errors) so technically they are both particles and not blocks - they are completely custom things"

Interesting. Either way I could probably look into a way to mimic the effect
