See the Underwater Shimmer and Water Effects at Their Best

One of Solace Natural Shader's signature features is its water effects, including a shimmering effect underwater. Here's how to get a good view of it.

Find the right spot

1. Pick clear, open water. A wide ocean, lake, or river gives you room to see the surface and depths without blocks in the way.

2. Go during daytime. The pack changes how light is displayed, and the shimmer is easiest to notice when plenty of light reaches the water.

3. Choose shallow water to start. Seeing the seabed below makes the shimmering easier to pick out.

Get a clear look

1. Stand at the shoreline and look across the water to see the surface effects.

2. Swim out and dive under. Look at the floor and the surrounding water to see the shimmer.

3. A Potion of Water Breathing or a turtle shell lets you stay down longer while you look around.

4. A Potion of Night Vision makes deep or dark water easier to see in. It may also change how the shader's lighting looks down there, so compare views with and without it.

5. Try different times of day. Because the pack controls lighting and tone, the same water can look quite different at noon, sunset, and night.

If the water looks plain

Check that Solace is at the top of your active resource packs. Another pack placed above it may be replacing the water visuals.
