Fixing Missing Clear Water and Pack Priority Issues

If you have enabled the Clear Water Texture Pack in Minecraft PE or Bedrock Edition but the ocean still looks murky, another resource pack or a world-specific setting is likely overriding the water textures.

Adjusting Load Order in Global Resources

Minecraft loads resource packs from top to bottom. If you use multiple texture packs, any pack placed above Clear Water will overwrite its changes if that pack also modifies water.

1. Exit your world to the main title screen and open Settings.

2. Navigate to Global Resources and expand the Active tab.

3. Select the Clear Water Texture Pack and use the arrow buttons to move it to the very top of the active list.

4. Exit the settings menu so the game reloads your resource packs.

Checking World-Specific Resource Packs

Applying the pack in Global Resources is usually enough, but individual worlds can sometimes lock their own resource pack lists.

1. From the Play menu, click the edit icon (pencil) next to the world you want to play.

2. Scroll down the left sidebar to the Resource Packs section and open the Active tab.

3. Confirm that the Clear Water Texture Pack is listed under Active and placed at the top of the load order.

4. Click the gear icon on the pack to verify whether Clean and clear water or Blue Water (clean) is selected, then launch the world.
