Adjust Water Reflection Quality for Better Performance

Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu by pressing the key bound to shader settings (usually accessed through the pause menu or a dedicated key). Look for the graphics or water section.

Reduce Reflection Detail

Locate the water reflection or reflection quality slider. Lowering this setting will reduce the detail and processing power needed to render realistic water reflections across rivers, lakes, and oceans. This is especially useful if you're experiencing frame rate drops in water-heavy areas like swamps or coastal biomes.

Test in Different Biomes

After adjusting, visit areas with significant water—like a large lake or river delta—to see how the change affects both visuals and performance. The shader is designed to balance beauty with smooth gameplay, so you may find a sweet spot where reflections still look good without taxing your system.

Fine-Tune Other Settings

If performance is still an issue, consider adjusting shadow quality or fog distance in the same menu. These settings work together to create the overall visual effect, and reducing any of them can help maintain a stable frame rate while keeping the vibrant Bedrock-style look.
