Enable Water Reflections and Wet Block Effects

Locate Reflection Settings

Open the shader settings menu (default: O) and navigate to the Water & Reflections section.

Activate Reflections

Toggle the Water Reflections option to ON. This makes water surfaces mirror nearby blocks, sky, and mobs. The effect is most visible near large bodies of water or rain.

Adjust Wet Block Appearance

Enable Wet Block Sheen to make rain-soaked blocks (dirt, stone, wood) appear slightly glossy and darker. This creates visual feedback during storms and adds depth to your world.

Performance Consideration

Reflections are GPU-intensive. If your frame rate drops noticeably:

• Reduce Reflection Distance to only reflect nearby objects
• Lower Reflection Resolution for a less detailed mirror effect
• Disable reflections entirely on potato-tier hardware

These settings persist until you change them again, so adjust once and forget.
