Turn On Amazon Water Shader and Confirm the Murky Water Effect

Amazon Water Shader changes how water looks: it becomes murky and covered in algae, and the view underwater turns hazy with dense fog. Here is how to switch it on and check that it is working.

Activate the Pack

1. From the main menu, open Settings and go to Global Resources. To use it in only one world, open that world's settings and go to Resource Packs instead.

2. Find Amazon Water Shader under My Packs and press Activate.

3. If you have other packs active, move Amazon Water Shader above them. In Bedrock, the pack at the top of the list wins when two packs change the same thing.

4. Leave the menu and load your world.

Check That It Works

1. Go to any body of water, such as a river, lake or ocean.

2. Look at the surface from the shore. It should look murky and algae-covered rather than clear and blue.

3. Jump in and swim under the surface. The view should turn hazy, and dense fog should close in around you.

4. If the water still looks vanilla, go back to the pack list. Confirm the shader is active and at the top, then restart the game and check again.

Once you see murky water and underwater fog, the shader is running as intended.
