Appreciate Water Reflections and Wave Effects

Find Good Water to Observe

Head to a large lake, ocean, or river during daytime. Elytrune's water features are most visible in open water with clear sky above. Avoid narrow channels or heavily shadowed areas for your first viewing.

Watch for Reflection Details

Look at how the sky, clouds, and surrounding landscape reflect on the water surface. Elytrune renders these reflections clearly without the performance cost of full ray-tracing. Stand at different angles to see how reflections shift as you move.

Observe Wave Motion

Water surfaces exhibit subtle, gentle wave patterns. These aren't dramatic—they maintain Minecraft's calm aesthetic while adding life to otherwise static water. Watch for how waves catch light differently depending on time of day.

Performance Considerations

Water effects scale with your chosen profile. High profile delivers the most detailed reflections and smoothest waves. If you're on Low or Medium, reflections remain clear but wave animation may be simplified. Switch profiles to compare if you're curious about the difference.
