      Issue Summary: All versions utilizing the RenderDragon engine are experiencing a rendering issue with cubemap textures of the sky. The textures are rendered with a noticeable Y offset, causing custom sky overlays in community-made resource packs to display incorrectly. This misalignment did not occur before the implementation of RenderDragon and results in a visual discrepancy compared to the Java Edition skies.

      Detailed Description:

      • Problem: The corners of the cubemap are visibly misaligned and not vertically aligned with the player’s perspective, indicating a clear Y offset.
      • Impact: This issue significantly affects the visual quality of custom sky overlays used in community-made resource packs, which are widely popular.
      • Comparison: The skies rendered in the Java Edition do not exhibit this problem, leading to inconsistencies between the two editions.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Install the resource pack provided.
      2. Load the game in any version using the RenderDragon engine.
      3. Observe the skybox and note the Y offset and misalignment in the corners of the cubemap.

      Expected Behavior: The skybox textures should be correctly aligned vertically with the player's perspective, similar to the rendering in the Java Edition, ensuring a seamless and visually accurate sky.

      Actual Behavior: The skybox textures are rendered with a Y offset, causing visible misalignment and breaking the intended visual experience of custom sky overlays.

      Suggested Fix: Address the Y offset in the skybox rendering process within the RenderDragon engine to ensure that the cubemap textures are properly aligned, providing a consistent and high-quality visual experience across both Bedrock and Java Editions.

      Community Impact: This issue is affecting a large portion of the community who rely on custom resource packs for enhanced gameplay experience. Resolving this bug would significantly improve the visual fidelity and user satisfaction. Now this isn't a significant issue that is game breaking but it's definitely something that isn't visually pleasing, as well as I doubt that the fix to this problem is overly complicated.

       

      Thank you for your time. Feel free to ask any questions, I'll try to provide as much information and context as possible.
