How to Experience the Underwater Lighting Effects

Exploring Submerged Environments

Beyond surface reflections, the ADIN FE3 Shader overhauls the underwater atmosphere with realistic underwater lighting. Submerging your character changes how light filters through the water column.

1. Find a deep ocean, river, or flooded cave system during the daytime when sunlight is strongest.

2. Dive completely beneath the surface of the water.

3. Look upward toward the water's surface and around the ocean floor to observe the custom underwater lighting effects.

4. Swim to different depths to see how the shader handles light transitions in deeper water.

Building with Underwater Lighting

You can take advantage of the shader's underwater lighting when designing submerged bases or aquariums.

1. Construct an underwater room using Glass blocks or Glass Panes for the ceiling and walls to let the surrounding water lighting into your base.

2. Place vanilla underwater light sources—such as Sea Pickles, Sea Lanterns, Glowstone, or Jack o'Lanterns—along the seabed outside your windows.

3. Observe how the ADIN FE3 Shader blends the artificial block light with the natural underwater lighting environment to create a realistic submerged view.
