Turn On Fresh Water Shader and Check That It's Working

Fresh Water Shader is a Bedrock (MCPE) shader pack. It is handled through the game's resource pack menus, not a separate shader menu. If the pack is installed but your water still looks like vanilla, it probably isn't active yet.

Activate the pack

1. From the main menu, open Settings.

2. Go to Global Resources. This applies the pack to every world.

3. Under My Packs, find Fresh Water Shader and press Activate.

4. Look at the Active list. Move Fresh Water Shader to the top so no other pack overrides its water.

5. Back out of the menu and let the game reload the resources.

To use the shader in only one world, open that world's Edit screen instead. Go to Resource Packs and activate it there.

Confirm the effect in-game

The pack mainly changes how water looks, so test it at water:

• Find open water in daylight, such as a lake, river or ocean.
• Check the surface color. It should look cleaner and more vibrant, closer to a clear mountain spring than murky vanilla water.
• Look down into the water. It should be clearer, so you can see further below the surface.
• Dive in. The underwater view should be improved, which makes the bottom and nearby blocks easier to see.

If none of this changes, see the troubleshooting guide. Another active pack is the most common cause.
