Clear Lava and Water Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off the water overlay without making water invisible?
The pack removes the blue tint overlay while keeping the water 
blocks themselves rendered, so you still see the water surface and edges. If water looks completely gone, you likely have another resource pack loaded above this one that overrides the water texture.

Check that the pack is actually at the top of your resource pack list, since packs lower in the list get overridden. Also confirm you're not standing in a biome or effect that adds its own fog, like blindness or certain potion effects.
Does this pack work in both Java and Bedrock?
The pack is made for Java Edition resource pack format, so Bedrock needs a separate conversion or a Bedrock-specific version. If you're on Bedrock and nothing changes, that's usually why.
Will this pack break my other resource packs?
It only changes the water and lava overlay textures, so it won't conflict with most packs that alter blocks, items, or GUI. Load it above packs that also touch water or lava to make sure its changes win.
blocks, items, or GUI. Load it above packs that also touch water or lava to make sure its changes win.Can I use this pack on a server or with friends?
Yes, resource packs are client-side, so you can use it on any server without the server needing to install anything. Your friends won't see the clear water unless they also enable the pack.
Does the pack affect performance or FPS?
It's a lightweight texture change, so performance impact is negligible on most systems. If you notice a drop, it's more likely from shaders or other packs running alongside it.
Why is lava still orange and hard to see through?
The pack removes the lava overlay fog, but lava blocks themselves still render with their normal texture. If lava looks unchanged, another pack is overriding the lava texture or the pack isn't enabled.

The pack typically ships as a combined water-and-lava change, so you'd need to edit or remove the relevant texture files to separate them. Some players keep a second copy of the pack with only one texture replaced for this reason.
Does this pack work with shaders?
Shaders often handle water and lava fog themselves, so the pack's effect may be hidden or overridden when shaders are active. Try disabling shaders to confirm the pack is working, then re-enable them and check your shader's fog settings.
Will this pack get me banned or flagged on multiplayer servers?
It's a visual-only resource pack and doesn't change gameplay, so it's generally allowed on servers. Some competitive servers restrict any client-side changes, so check the server rules if you're unsure.
