Yes—access the shader options menu and look for water reflection settings, where you can control reflection intensity, clarity, and how much of the sky reflects on the water surface.

Try disabling volumetric clouds, lowering shadow resolution, or reducing TAA quality in the shader settings. You can also lower your render distance or disable custom skies to improve performance while keeping core lighting effects.

Yes, Adistira includes custom sky designs for all three dimensions—the Overworld, Nether, and End each have their own unique appearance that you can customize through the shader options.
