Fix Water That Still Looks Like Vanilla With Fresh Water Shader On
If the pack shows as active but the water hasn't become clearer or more vibrant, work through these checks in order.
Check pack order and conflicts
1. Open Settings → Global Resources and look at the Active list.
2. Packs higher in the list override packs below them. Move Fresh Water Shader to the top.
3. Other shaders or texture packs that change water can hide this pack's effect. Deactivate them one at a time and check the water after each change.
4. Open the world's own Resource Packs screen as well. A pack applied to that world can also override how water looks.
Reload and retest
1. Fully close the game and reopen it so all resources reload cleanly.
2. Load the world and go to open water in daylight. A small puddle at night makes it hard to judge color and clarity.
3. Compare the surface and the underwater view against what you remember from vanilla.
If it still doesn't change
- Test in a new world. Activate only Fresh Water Shader there, with no other packs, to see whether it works on its own.
- Remove and re-add the pack. Deactivate it, restart, then activate it again.
- Check for global vs. per-world setup. Activating the pack in Global Resources covers every world, so you don't need to set it up in each one.
