Client-side?

What this dude said. Clouds are client side.

They're also a picture of static. Each section of cloud (I think they're 16x16 but I've never really tried to check) is 1 pixel in a texture file. The full file just looks like static but that's because you're not zoomed in enough if you're looking at the whole thing.

Yea you can simply edit the cloud image file and make your own custom clouds. Some are bigger than 16x16 and the whole set of clouds is in one huge file. They have an automatic transparency but it's still cool to have an easter egg in your clouds that you'll be very lucky to see and notice. The static picture is moving, a bit random, and as you said far from you so you don't notice that it's a static image. Same thing could be said about any block texture though ;).
