Customize Water Appearance and Reflections

Locate Water Settings

Access the shader configuration menu and find the water or liquid effects section. This controls how water surfaces render across your world.

Modify Water Properties

Common adjustments include:

  • Wave intensity: Controls how pronounced the water ripples and wave patterns appear. Higher values create more visible movement.
  • Reflection strength: Adjusts how much the sky and surroundings reflect on water surfaces.
  • Water clarity: Some settings let you control how transparent or opaque water appears.
  • Ripple speed: Determines how quickly wave animations cycle.

Apply and Observe

Save your changes and visit bodies of water—oceans, lakes, and rivers—to see the effects. Watch how light interacts with the surface at different times of day. The shader's semi-realistic approach means reflections remain subtle and performance-friendly, even with higher settings. If you notice stuttering near large water bodies, reduce wave intensity or reflection strength to maintain smooth frame rates.
