With 2.8.1, on most 64 bit computers, the lwjgl64.dll update will cause a black screen crash.

Minecraft 1.8.1 currently uses LWJGL 2.9.2, and the new launcher is able to automatically update it to newer versions, making the steps in this guide unnecessary. Prior to release 1.6, Minecraft used LWJGL 2.4.2. Essentially, it is what Minecraft uses for graphics, sound, and input. With my own skybox, I took an idea from the older Battlefield 1942 game, which done it's skyboxes so that the bottom half of them, which you seen on the horizon had a more foggy, solid colour which matched whatever the fog colour was so they both blended together nicely.LWJGL is the Light Weight Java Game Library. On my channel I have a video called 'Cit圓D' I made years ago which use this and you can see how well it works. For one skybox I left out the landscape entirely and then edited the sides and the bottom view so they had a fog colour and solid half at the bottom which was the same colour as the in game fog so it blends in perfectly. I then faced what would be the front direction and then looked straight up and straight down to render top and bottom. I used terragen to create some nice skyboxes, I rendered the sky etc… and set the view to 90 degrees, then turned the camera 90 degrees to get each direction perfectly, keeping the output square. The top and bottom also need to be 90 degree field of view. Seeing as how we have four sides, each side needs to cover a 90 degree field of view (90 * 4 = 360).

The total view around the entire skybox is 360 degrees. An important note if you wish to create your own set of skybox images from scratch if that each of the images needs to be a 90 degree field of view.
