Make Water and Reflections Look More Realistic

Access Water Settings

Open the shader configuration menu and locate the water or reflection section. BSR Shaders includes Complementary Reimagined's water system, which offers several customization options.

Adjust Water Transparency

Find the water clarity or transparency slider. Increasing this makes water clearer so you can see underwater details better. Decreasing it creates a more opaque, murky appearance suitable for swamps or deep oceans.

Enable Reflection Enhancements

Look for reflection quality or screen-space reflection settings. Enabling or increasing these makes the water surface reflect the sky and surrounding blocks more realistically. This effect is most noticeable on calm water surfaces.

Test in Different Biomes

Visit oceans, rivers, and lakes to see how your adjustments look across different water types. The shader handles water differently depending on depth and biome, so testing multiple locations helps you find the right balance.
